Does anyone know if What a Life from Another Round is a song originally written for the movie? If it is then I can imagine it being nominated. The movie will be quite visible because it might be the Danish submission for International Feature, and the scene the song appears in is so insanely memorable that it’s basically impossible to get it out of your head afterwards.

Written by Cynthia Nabozny, Matias Mora, Mia MinichielloStrange that the article didn’t mention more songs from Jingle Jangle. After seeing the film, it seems like Netflix would be pushing for “This Day” to get the nom, since it’s performed in the film and then a cover version by Usher is played first during the credits.
My new predicts (for now):
The Life Ahead – “lo si”
One Night in Miami – “Speak Now”
Jingle Jangle – “This Day”
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm – “Wuhan Flu”+OPEN SPOT
Tempted to predict Onward, but that kinda came and went awhile ago.
With the whole Academy voting on nominees now, someone like Taylor Swift could get in (IF the music panel doesn’t eliminate as a finalist… and that’s a big if).
Lots more movies with music to come.
ReplyCopy URLI think “Carried Me with You” is for sure getting in. Sure, Onward kind of fizzled because of its unfortunate release time, but it’s obviously top two for animated film, and Disney doesn’t have really another contender to push in this category. Mulan is not happening and after its various controversies and probable crash-and-burn failure on Disney+ so I doubt the Mouse even gives it the time of day. And the music industry seems to like Brandi Carlile.
ReplyCopy URLI’d probably put Carried me With You as a near lock for now, it’s Pixar and they got two nominations recently and one win, and Soul doesn’t have original songs, so i think it’s safe, besides, it’s the only Disney bet as said above. They won’t go for Mulan and neither for this other Diane song.
