5. I wish they had played all five songs.

I went back and listened to them all and "Train Dreams" was really the most memorable. It was hard to even pick up on the songs "Golden" and "I Lied to You" themselves in the overwrought production numbers, but I thought both of them were a bit meh - if they came up on the radio or someone's Spotify list, I don't think I could tell them from a lot of other songs. (Though it is the Oscars, so I can't really beef about big production numbers).

I'm generally disappointed by the winner in this category, though!
