“Sinners” Submits Two Songs for Oscar Consideration
The film “Sinners,” directed by Ryan Coogler, has officially submitted two songs for consideration at the upcoming Oscars. As the awards season approaches, the competition for the Best Original Song category is heating up, with “Sinners” aiming to make a significant impact.
The two songs submitted are “I Lied to You,” written by Raphael Saadiq and Ludwig Göransson, and “Last Time (I Seen the Sun),” a duet featuring Miles Caton and Alice Smith. Both tracks play pivotal roles in the film, with “I Lied to You” featured in a standout sequence, while “Last Time (I Seen the Sun)” serves as the end-credits song. The film’s soundtrack is expected to resonate with audiences and critics alike.
As reported by Variety, Caton is also anticipated to receive a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Sammie “Preacherboy” Moore. Along with these potential nominations, “Sinners” has garnered attention for its overall contributions to this year’s awards landscape, with multiple categories in which it could excel.
The competition for the Best Original Song award is particularly fierce this year. Notably, the musical “Wicked” is introducing two new songs, one performed by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Additionally, a catchy track titled “Golden” from the film “KPop Demon Hunters” has also joined the fray, further complicating the race for the coveted Oscar.
Historically, the Oscar for Best Original Song has favored well-established hits, especially those associated with popular artists like Billie Eilish, who previously won for “No Time to Die” and contributed to the “Barbie” soundtrack. Musicals and animated films, such as “Frozen” and “Coco,” have also seen significant success in this category, often due to their appealing soundtracks.
As the 96th Academy Awards approach, the buzz surrounding “Sinners” and its submissions is palpable. With so many contenders vying for attention, it remains to be seen which song will emerge as a favorite. Fans and critics are eager to see how the nominations will unfold in this dynamic awards season.
