In 1985, Phil Collins was passed over to perform his nominated composition "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)". According to representatives of both Collins' record company and Columbia Pictures, this was because the producers of the telecast were not familiar with his work. Ann Reinking performed the song instead, with Collins sitting in the audience

'85 was also the year when Collins played both arenas at Live Aid, so I'd say the backlash was still a few years away. I think we got saturated with Another Day in Paradise.
