Oscar snubs: 10 movie songs that should’ve been Academy Award-nominated

Jimmy Cliff

“The Harder They Come” (The Harder They Come)


The title song on what was, at the time, the best-selling reggae record ever (until the Bob Marley compilation Legend was released), is a classic. Maybe reggae was a little off of the Academy’s radar in the early 1970s.  Cliff also stars in this tale of a singer forced into a life of crime.
