The Greatest Showman only received one nomination, but it was almost surely locked in to win. "This Is Me" has everything an Oscar-winning song would need (in theory). It's a big, bold, triumphant song about self-empowerment and inner beauty. It was written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who had just won the same Oscar the year before for La La Land. Shockingly, "This Is Me" lost.
