Its crazy how competitive this category is compared to how garbage its been the last few years. A star is born and black panther are locks in this. I would love to see love lies nominated but I’m not sure it will happen. Kendrick winning a Pulitzer Prize earlier this year will possibly make the voters vote for him.

Is there any songs from crazy rich asians or mamma Mia 2 that are eligible? and maybe if they release music for wreck it Ralph 2. Eminem apparently has a song for Venom too.

Nope, all the songs are covers

I think they’ll want to reward Gaga and this is where she wins. I don’t think she’s winning actress.

 

Same could be said about Black Panther. Im sure they will want to reward the film since it was so huge and culturally important and I just dont see it getting Best Picture. Best Original Song is how they may recognize this film.

I think Gaga will definitely win this as a consolation to her losing to Glenn Close. But if Lin Manuel Miranda is also nominated in this category and Viola Davis wins her Grammy two days before the Academy starts their final voting, I’m afraid Gaga might lose this too.

Emmys gave three men their EGOTs. If Viola wins a Grammy, she completes her EGOT too. So, all eyes will be on the Academy if they’ll follow suit and give someone who’s qualified for an EGOT (Miranda if he’s nominated) his Oscar.

That’s the only scenario I can think of where Gaga loses.

It´d be so unfair if a Black Panther song wins this..

Lin Manuel Miranda also won the Pulitzer in 2016, was nominated for Oscar’s Original Song for “How Far I’ll Go” the following year… he didn’t win.

Black Panther………It just amazed me with its production design. It’s so overrated.

They just put tremendous money into making commercial movies with still-generic plot. And then they invited all the black actors to star in the film to indicate some “political correctness.

If this film featured mainly the white actors and the same plot/everything else, I don’t think the media would praise it like the way they do now.

And the song……Oscars can literally erase the “best original song” category if we just predict it or consider whether the winner deserves it by mere popularity.

I love these MCU films especially the Guardians of Galaxy, but they could easily gain the incredible box office and the fame for actors that those Oscars-worthy type of films couldn’t.

Anyway, Black Panther is really overrated and this thought stemmed into my mind right after I saw it in March.

Lin is only EGOT-ing this year if he wins Sup. Actor, because for the 763846825th time, Lin isn’t involved in the music for Mary Poppins. Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman are the ones doing the score and original music.

Dolly Parton and Sia released a song for the Dumplin’ soundtrack. I’m no Dolly fan so I can’t say if it’s a cover or original.

It’s a cover – the original was on Coat of Many Colors album from 1971.
