“Hold My Hand” by Lady Gaga and “Nobody Like U” by Billie Eilish are on the list of Original Song nominees for the 2022 Oscars. There are 82 songs that have made it into the section.
All of the eighty-two songs are ones that have been popular for a long time. It also includes Rihanna’s ‘Lift me Up’ from ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’, ‘Ciao Papa’ from Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Pinocchio’ and more. The one song that didn’t make it to the cut was Doja Cat’s ‘vegas’ from Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Elvis’. It was declared ineligible because the song wasn’t entirely original. It bears resemblance to Presley’s classic song ‘Hound Dog’.
Out of the songs that qualified, The Academy will choose the top 15 title songs, from which they will choose the five nominees. On December 21, 2022, the list of Original Song Oscar nominees will be made public.
