If AMPAS can do it, why can't we? For most categories I just rank as I watch and rewatch and I tinker with the rankings constantly, but song and score are different because those are the only elements of a film that can be experienced on their own. What I do is try to find as many eligible songs as possible and list them. As the season progresses I listen and re-listen to some of them and identify the ones I like. And at the beginning of 2022 these are the ones I like! "Believe" - The Rescue "Beyond the Shore" - CODA "Blome Swete Lilie Flour" - The Green Knight "Columbia, Mi Encanto" - Encanto "Dos Oruguitas" - Encanto "Down to Joy" - Belfast "Home All Summer" - In the Heights "Just Look Up" - Don't Look Up "My Father's Daughter" - Flag Day "On My Own" - The Mitchells vs. The Machines "Second Nature" - Don't Look Up "The World to Come" - The World to Come I'm sure more will come up, but what about everyone else? What original songs are y'all loving from this year? Maybe we can pick up some recs.

Depends. I’m debating whether or not Bo Burnham: Inside qualifies for AMARA’s. (well, not debating. It’s just a question mark if the AMARA’s will even allow it)

Aka. Me pimping out Belle and Bo Burnham: Inside. This is in no way final, but gives you an idea what you *could* expect to see in a few weeks “Lend Me Your Voice” - Belle “A Million Miles Away” - Belle ”All Eyes on Me” - Bo Burnham: Inside ”Welcome to the Internet” - Bo Burnham: Inside ”Beyond the Shore” - CODA ”Just Look Up” - Don’t Look Up ”Dos Oruguitas” - Encanto ”We Don’t Talk About Bruno” - Encanto ”Guns Go Bang” - The Harder They Fall ”No Time to Die” - No Time to Die ”Your Song Saved My Life” - Sing 2 ”Inside Your Heart” - Vivo

my list has expanded a bit but I just wanted to shout out "Someone to Say" from Cyrano because I watched it last week. Disappointing in so many respects and some of the National songs are downright awful for a musical, but this song (featured in the trailer) is very pretty. Bolstered by Haley Bennet's lilting performance but also has this extended orchestral section that's just beautiful. Definitely my favorite song from the film. They should've campaigned this one instead of "Every Letter".

I'm not finding any info about that Well, "Cyrano" was originally a small stage production so most of the songs aren't written for the film itself. Here's a bit of 'Someone to Say' from the stage version from 2019, for example:
