The Oscar for best original song dates to 1934. The Golden Globe in that category dates to 1961 (though they dropped the category in 1962 and 1963). The Grammy for song of the year dates to 1958. In 1987, the Grammys added an additional category, best song written specifically for a motion picture or television (now called best song written for visual media). This gave film songs a much better chance of bringing home a Grammy. (That’s why three-quarters of these 16 songs are post-1987.)
Here’s a complete list of the 16 Triple Crown winners, followed by the titles of two songs that narrowly missed out. The years shown are the years the films were released. All of the post-1987 songs won a Grammy in the visual media category. Songs that won Grammys in other songwriting categories are so noted.

It is no secret to anyone that the Critics Choice Awards are
one of the most important events during the film and television awards season. Precisely, this is usually a good thermometer that serves as the perfect prelude to the Oscars. Since 1996, the Film Broadcasting Critics Association has organized this ceremony, with more than 200 television, radio, and film critics from the United States and Canada.
Among so many categories to be awarded, the one for Best Song stands out. We all know that music is that indispensable guest in all kinds of productions because a good song can turn a scene or moment into something unforgettable. It should be noted that this award began to be awarded in its fourth edition (1999), since then it has been a fixed and fundamental category for the aspirations not only of artists but also of film producers themselves.
