It's no real surprise that like most film watchers the best song featured in a 2018 film was Shallow. Even if you're like me and A Star is Born didn't fully work you have to admit that the moment in which Shallow is featured totally works. It's the peak for performance, film making and music of the entire film. It's songs like these that the category for original song should continue to be awarded as music is just as integural to cinema as any other compoinment is. Imagine Wizard of Oz without the oscar winning song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", it's quite impossible.
