The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) only awards one Oscar for Best Song every year, so it is not possible for one song to win more than one Oscar. And a song is only eligible for consideration if it is an original song, it can be used in many movies, but it is only eligible to win the Oscar for the movie it was originally written for. It is possible for one composer to win more than one Oscar. There is another category for Best Score, and composers can win year after year.
