The 80th annual Academy Awards will be presented Sunday night. Here are the nominees for the Oscar for the Best Song:

BEST ORIGINAL SONG

"Falling Slowly"
from "Once"
"Happy Working Song" from "Enchanted"
"Raise It Up" from "August Rush"
"So Close" from "Enchanted"
"That's How You Know" from "Enchanted"

How many of these songs will you remember 10 years from now?

Five years?

One year?

One month?

These nominees certainly don't measure up to past Oscar Best Song winners:

8) The Days of Wine and Roses-1962









7) All the Way-1957
