Nothing makes for stranger bedfellows than the best original song category at a movie (and television) awards show. Last year at the Golden Globes, we saw the theme song from a Bond film go up against a Brian Wilson song and and a Charlie Puth tune — with a Wiz Khalifa guest verse — from a Fast and the Furious film.

This year, it’s a similarly mixed bag, with Justin Timberlake rubbing elbows with Iggy Pop and Stevie Wonder. Let’s take a look at the tunes.

Members of the American Cinema Editors have weighed in with a list of nominations for the 67th annual Ace Eddie Awards, taking place on Friday, Jan. 27.

All three of the awards season’s strongest players — “La La Land,” “Moonlight” and “Manchester by the Sea” — were recognized in the film categories.
