Music news

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has revealed the shortlists for the different categories at the 2024 Oscars.

Vying for nominations for best original song are Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish for Barbie songs, Olivia Rodrigo for “Can’t Catch Me Now”, Sharon Van Etten for “Quiet Eyes”, Jarvis Cocker for Asteroid City -“ Dear Alien (Who Art in Heaven)” and more.

Composers shortlisted for Best Original Score include Mica Levi, Mark Ronson, Ludwig Göransson, Joe Hisaishi, John Williams, the late Robbie Robertson and Daniel Pemberton, among others.

All nominees will be revealed on January 23.

GOLDEN GLOBE

The Oscar nominee lists overlap somewhat with the 2024 Golden Globe nominations. Barbie’s songs “Dance the Night,” “What Was I Made For?,” and “I’m Just Ken” are nominated for Golden Globes, as is Lenny Kravitz’s “Road to Freedom” from Rustin. And all six original score nominees at the Golden Globes are on the Oscar shortlist.

The 2023 Oscar for Best Original Score went to Volker Bertelmann (aka Hauschka) for his work on All Quiet on the Western Front.
The Oscar for best original song went to the creators of “Naatu Naatu” MM Keeravani and Chandrabose, who beat Lady Gaga, Rihanna, David Byrne and others.

In 2022, Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas won Best Original Song at the Academy Awards for “ No Time to Die .”
