"Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz sung by Judy Garland
Movie Synopsis: A young girl is transported to the magical land of Oz and tries to return by visiting the wizard.
Analysis
First of all, "Over the Rainbow" is like the quintessential movie song, so it totally deserves to win this award. Secondly, this crop of 4 songs is so weak. In 1938, there were 10 nominees and in 1940, there were 9. So what's up 1939? Did everyone else get scared in the awesome wake of "Over the Rainbow"? That's my analysis. Also interestingly enough, "Faithful & Forever" is the first song from an animated feature to be nominated in the category. (None for Snow White!)
