Valextra 58 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yet another British star has triumphed in the Oscar nominations for 2015, as singer Rita Ora has received a nod for Grateful, a track she recorded for the film Beyond the Lights. The song, which was written by Diane Warren, has been shortlisted in the Best Original Song category. http://youtu.be/lMxL3_P9eNE While the prize is given to the track's songwriters, nominees for the Original Song category often perform at the ceremony, so it is possible that Rita will also make an appearance at the show on 22 February.The song faces competition from songs including Lost Stars, sung by Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine for Begin Again, and the catchy Everything Is Awesome from The Lego Movie. http://www.hellomagazine.com/film/2015011522870/rita-ora-oscar-nominated-song/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
artpopmess 369 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's sad this Oscar goes only to the lyricists and the composers of the song and not the performers. Not that I care about Rita Ora but the Mariah & Whitney duet won that award in 1999 Edit: I just saw it being mentioned under the video. Oh well don't follow my instagram (trying out reverse psychology) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valextra 58 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 But if she didn't write the song then they didn't actually nominated her Congratulations to her regardless of that Exactly it's pointed out in article, but she could perform it during the show and it would be already a lot for her since a lot of singers with a longer career haven't had this chance before :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
