Oscars 2024: Who Should Win Every Award (And Who Actually Will)
20. Best Original Song
Nominees:
Diane Warren - "The Fire Inside" (Flamin' Hot)
Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt - "I'm Just Ken" (Barbie)
Jon Baptise and Dan Wilson - "It Never Went Away" (American Symphony)
Scott George - "Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)" (Killers of the Flower Moon)
Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell - "What Was I Made For?" (Barbie)
This is a strong collection of songs, the nominees ranging from joyfully fun to quietly devastating, but don't let the strong competition fool you: This year belongs to Billie Eilish's beautiful "What Was I Made For?"
Voters may lean to the more upbeat and amusing of Barbie's nominees, "I'm Just Ken," but Eilish's ballad is one of the film's defining features, powerfully sung and stunningly human. Don't expect a twist here.
