Come What May (2001 song)

Awards

"Come What May" was nominated for a 2002 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song – Motion Picture, but lost to Sting's "Until" from Kate & Leopold. The song was ineligible for a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Song because it was originally written with another film in mind: Luhrmann's previous project, William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. The song was ranked on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs at number 85.
