Well, one of them is a different version of the streetcar theme. You
might not have it.

Well, everybody votes for the music in the academy. Therefore, you
can expect the most popular or accessible to win :) It's like the

it is a bigger honor to be nominated in the academy, because the
nominating is done by people who know film music well.
