Because "Skyfall" won it that year. If it were up to me, I'd give the Oscar a tie to both Skyfall and Before My Time, both really beautiful pieces of work.
I bawled my eyes out when this played over the end credits of Chasing Ice, gets me every time. And 9 years later we still have so much work to do, our planet is precious
first time i listened to this song was when i watched oscars in which this song became one of the nominees. so great Scarlet Johanson could sing this way.
I saw the documentary and the audience didn't leave until the end of the credits. This song is so captivating. It functions beautifully for the film -- which is about disappearing glaciers and retreating ice mass -- and is a gorgeous song on its own.
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard (right alongside Salvador Sobral’s Amar Pelos Dois) The composition, the lyrics, the voice... Pure perfection.
I remember I used to listen to Scarlett's music all the time. I remember a lot of people said they hated her voice. I was shocked. Her voice is amazing. And I love this song so much.
Can we just pause for a moment and take notice that this song is meant for a great movie, which tells us our beautiful home is disappearing? Scarlett wanted to bring awareness to the film by being in this song. Why isn't anyone seeing the point?
nicole lee beacause they are full of illusion and living under false hope that Earth Will heal herself one day which sadly will happen only when human beings become extinct species
axs biun So what? Happened before and so will happen again, nothing to be sorry about :) New generation of humankind will for sure be that much more of an aware beign, as Mother Earth collects everything into her collective memory and consciusness. Nothing to worry about :)
Axsbiun how arrogant of mankind to really believe we could destroy this planet! We may intervene in an unpleasant way in landscape and as an animal lover I can understand the upset over impeding over their dominion but this earth will KICK OUR ASS way before we have a chance to destroy it! Mother Nature is not any different than millions of woman who love to “remodel” their homes and make things different! We have no idea what’s in store for this earth or what she has planned but I do know the dinosaurs walked this earth for millions of years and in short swoop they were gone!!! The earth got rid of them, wanted sometimes different and here comes man kind a few billion later! When the earth or God or whatever entity you believe in is ready we to will be gone and a new species of one kind or another will dominate this earth. This earth will destroy mankind before we destroy it!
I was doing dishes during a pastie marathon down in the bakery when this came on the Oscars-I dropped everything and had to see it-had no idea Scarlett J. could sing-and just now see the strings were by Joshua Bell. Now I want to see the documentary.
Wow this song is so BEAUTIFUL Scarlett Johansson Sounds Amazing on this this song brings me to tears!! It reminds me when I lived on the street living in a tree in a park in Edmonton Ab Paul Kane Park in 82
so hauntingly beautiful. like others here, I heard this on the Oscars telecast. but I'm instantly a fan. so soft and melodic...and as much as I'm a fan of Adele, I definitely think this is right up there with an award winner.
This song is so AMAZING!! God Scarlett your voice is so beautiful I hope they play this song at my funeral is so beautiful i cry everytime i listen to this
She's sang a few albums which are amazing because of her incredible voice! One was a cover album for Tom Waits and the other a break-up album with Pete Yorn. Most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Most beautiful woman I've ever seen! She's got it made. This is going to be one of my new favorite songs. Love you Scarlett!
Im glad i was watching the Oscars, otherwise i would never have known this song.. i fell in love with it instantly. Gee, i cant believe Scarlett can sing this good, bravo..
If you look at the very last credit, and look at the bottom, you can see my name! Proud to have had the chance to help Chasing Ice.
I actually looked for your name there lol
how in the hell did this not win the academy award for best song? Its beautiful scarlett is simply perfect as always
Because "Skyfall" won it that year. If it were up to me, I'd give the Oscar a tie to both Skyfall and Before My Time, both really beautiful pieces of work.
This had already won
I bawled my eyes out when this played over the end credits of Chasing Ice, gets me every time. And 9 years later we still have so much work to do, our planet is precious
Yes, She, Earth, most certainly is!
I love this song after watching 'Chasing Ice'. Little did I knew it was sung by Scarlett Johansson. Bravo Ms Johansson.
The more I hear her voice the more I love her. This is a problem.
It's not ...♥
Well, it seems like you've managed not to shoot her in the last five years, or somebody else to impress her. You're doing fine, mate.

The last note gets me every time. Thank you Joshua Bell.
wow her voice is very pure and heart touching
I love her voice so rich and full of soul.
first time i listened to this song was when i watched oscars in which this song became one of the nominees. so great Scarlet Johanson could sing this way.
She's got that "singing in the kitchen" voice. It's endearing, lol.
+dvalukis Love that description...exactly right.
Mike Jenkins Thanx Mike. Thought I was alone in that appreciation.
This song is currently haunting me and my hubby and our 5.5 yrs old. Simply beautiful.
I agree - songs like this put the whole world on pause, and should get the highest recognition.
Scarlett you are so beatiful graceful and full of talent. I love your acting now i love your singing too
if you think this song is beautiful you should watch the movie. brilliant!
Scarlet has a beautiful voice, down right sexy for such a sad subject. We're losing our ice on a daily basis. It has to go somewhere.
MrHubot my fridge makes infinite amount of ice. The fuck you talkin’ bout?
so calming yet this song is about dying ... pure bliss
Horrifying ! excellent ! wonderful and so lovely
I love how Scarlett and Joshua work so well together. They sound so good!
Omg, so breathtaking/beautiful - both the documentary and the video.
Scarlett is the very definition of perfection
God damn miss johannsson, beauty and a great voice, perfect.
I love her acting and her voice!

I never knew she could sing...I am getting the chills, love her voice!
J ralph's musical arrangement is perfect for Johanssen's vocals.

I see the point, looking forward to watching before the floods

Absolutely beautiful. Her voice relaxed me completely.
I love this song by Scarlett Johansson, an incredible voice; had to share.
What a nice voice
Beautiful double octave jump on the viola in the last phrase. Very sweet.
Wonderful, I can’t wait to own this video and show my whole town!
#Awesometrack Sj wow what an angelic voice awesome 🌟🌟🌟💫💫💫✨✨✨
I think this movie deserves an Academy Award and this song deserves a Grammy. This film has everything - beauty, heroism, tragedy. I love it!
I read that Scarlett is going to start recording more often and to probably make albums! I love her voice.

scarlett johansson is such a beautiful person, actor, and singer
I've listened to this so many times and I can't get enough if it
Miss Johansson, I reckon you'll never see this, but you must perform and sing moving pieces like this again. I was wonderfully surprised by it.
Amazing movie, amazing song. Sometimes I even cannot breath!
It's on "repeat mode" here... can't stop listening to this! Such a beautiful song, such a beautiful voice!
I listen to this song like 100 times every day....just amazing...
This song is so great! I could hear it over and over again...
I get shivers every time I hear this... The combination of the song and the documentary is too overwhelming....
Same here. Had no clue. Going to see her on Broadway Thursday. Can't wait.
Me, too. Exactly. It's enchanting.

Beautiful song, J. Ralph and and a deeply moving performance by Scarlett and Joshua. Thank you

I got all teary just hearing it for the first time during the clip on the Oscars. It's gorgeous.
I was mesmerized by this. Pure beauty.
The violins from 3:00 onward are outstanding! The last note grabbed my heart and all that goes with it.
A great movie! And such a beautiful song.
so hauntingly beautiful. like others here, I heard this on the Oscars telecast. but I'm instantly a fan. so soft and melodic...and as much as I'm a fan of Adele, I definitely think this is right up there with an award winner.
