Grammy winner Batiste is nominated for his emotional piano ballad about his undying love for his wife. The song originates from the film \"American Symphony,\" a documentary following Batiste's career while discovering his wife's cancer has returned.
\"It never went away, the feeling is just the same,\" Batiste sings in the song.
Batiste has won one Oscar in the past for best original score for the 2020 film \"Soul.\"
The award-laden brother-sister duo Billie Eilish and Finneas teamed up on the theme-highlighting anthem \"What Was I Made For?\" for \"Barbie,\" which spotlights Barbie's own growing existential consciousness in the film. The pair took home the Oscar for best original song previously, in 2022, for \"No Time to Die,\" from the James Bond film of the same name.
\"Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)\" is nominated alongside the Osage music consultant for \"Killers of the Flower Moon,\" Scott George, who wrote the song. The tune was composed by George and Osage Nation members Kenny Bighorse and Vann Bighorse, and performed by the Osage Tribal Singers, with a strong drum component and powerful rhythmic singing.
The song plays in the final scene of the film, which stacked up 10 Oscar nominations overall.
Latin-influenced pop beats are on full display in the film \"Flamin' Hot,\" which was inspired by Richard Montañez, the creator of Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Sung by Becky G, who is of Mexican American descent, and written by Diane Warren, the song carries an uplifting theme of perseverance and spirit, with lyrics like, \"They can't put out what you got inside you / No way to put out that flame.\"
This is Warren's 15th nomination in the category. Although she has never won a competitive Oscar, she did receive an honorary award in 2022.
