Oscars 2023: Final Predictions In Every Category
5. Best Original Song
NOMINEES:
"Applause" (Tell It Like a Woman)
"Hold My Hand" (Top Gun: Maverick)
"Lift Me Up" (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever)
"Naatu Naatu" (RRR)
"This Is a Life" (Everything Everywhere All at Once)
What Should Win:
"Naatu Naatu" (RRR)
In a field typically known for boring, vapid pop ballads at least there are some fun nominees this year, and none more so than RRR's deliriously infectious "Naatu Naatu".
It helps immeasurably that the song is actually featured in a prominent, memorable, and ludicrously entertaining part of the movie, too, and will give voters their single chance to reward a film that some might argue was a worthier Best Picture nominee than Elvis.
What Will Win:
"Naatu Naatu" (RRR)
The momentum has been with "Naatu Naatu" all season long, so it's RRR's to lose.
