From THE BREAKFAST CLUB, way back in 1985, before I was even watching the Oscars, "Don't You (Forget About Me)" was synth pop gorgeousness. Written by Keith Forsey (an Oscar winner for the song from FLASHDANCE) and Steve Schiff, and performed by Simple Minds. The song that went on to win that year was "Say You, Say Me" from WHITE KNIGHTS. Of the nominees, my choice would have been "Miss Celie's Blues" from THE COLOR PURPLE.
