Oscar First: K-Pop Song Eyes Record Win
9 Mar
Summary
- A K-pop song could make history with an Oscar win.
- One song has too many writers for individual statuettes.
- Diane Warren seeks Oscar win after 16 nominations.
The upcoming March 15th Oscar ceremony could witness several historic moments in the Best Original Song category. The K-pop song "Golden" has the potential to become the first of its genre to win an Oscar. It also stands to set a record as the winner with the most credited writers. Due to Academy rules, if "Golden" wins, its multiple writers will share a single statuette.
Another significant narrative surrounds Diane Warren's song "Dear Me." Should she win for her work, it would mark her first Oscar win after an unprecedented 16 nominations in the category. This pursuit of a win after numerous nominations echoes Randy Newman's own Oscar journey, who eventually won after 15 previous nominations across song and score categories.
