As an alternative to the real show today, here is my list of candidates who qualified for the finals.
First rule is, there are no rules. From full orchestral works, classical or dedicated compositions, single vocal tunes, designed specifically for the movie or or used " as is" - everything is allowed, as long as it works nicely with the movie and supports the photography or the story.
