In the lead-up to the highly anticipated 2024 Academy Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has left us all buzzing with excitement as they’ve unveiled the shortlists for several categories. Among the most coveted nominations is the one for Best Original Song, and this year’s lineup is nothing short of spectacular.
Taking center stage in this musical showdown are two powerhouse talents: the dynamic duo of Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish, both vying for Oscar glory with their contributions to the Barbie movie’s soundtrack. Their Barbie songs have captured hearts and ears, and now they’re on the cusp of capturing the coveted Academy Award nomination.
But that’s not all – the competition is fierce. Olivia Rodrigo, the rising star who has taken the music world by storm, has thrown her hat into the ring with “Can’t Catch Me Now,” a song that’s as catchy as it is memorable. And then there’s the hauntingly beautiful “Quiet Eyes” by none other than the remarkable Sharon Van Etten. It’s a song that leaves a lasting impression, and the Oscars might just be the stage it deserves.
And speaking of unforgettable tunes, Jarvis Cocker has entered the race with “Dear Alien (Who Art in Heaven)” from Asteroid City. Cocker’s unique style and lyrics are sure to make this song a standout contender.
As if that wasn’t enough, the Best Original Song shortlist is brimming with even more talent and diversity. It’s a testament to the rich musical tapestry that cinema has to offer. The nominees have poured their hearts and souls into these songs, and it shows.
Now, let’s not forget about the composers who have crafted the unforgettable scores that elevate the cinematic experience. The Best Original Score shortlist is equally impressive, with names like Mica Levi, Mark Ronson, Ludwig Göransson, Joe Hisaishi, and the legendary John Williams, to name just a few. The late Robbie Robertson’s inclusion is a poignant reminder of his enduring impact on film music.
It’s worth noting that there’s some overlap between the Oscars shortlists and the 2024 Golden Globe Awards nominations. The Barbie songs have caught the attention of both academies, and Lenny Kravitz’s “Road to Freedom” is another name that’s been making waves in both circles.
As we eagerly await the full list of nominees to be revealed on January 23, the anticipation is palpable. The Oscars are a celebration of the magic that happens when music and film come together, and this year’s lineup promises to deliver a memorable and melodic journey through the best that cinema has to offer.
In the world of film and music, where creativity knows no bounds, the Oscars are the stage where dreams come true. So mark your calendars, because the 2024 Academy Awards are set to be a symphony of talent, and we can’t wait to see who takes home the coveted golden statuettes.
