Right on the heels of Lady Gaga's first win at the Golden Globes for her show-stopping performance on American Horror Story: Hotel, the singer-songwriter has been nominated for an Oscar with "Til It Happens to You." The track is up for the Academy Award's Best Original Song, and it is Gaga's very first nomination for the prestigious award. 

The other nominees are: "Earned It" from Fifty Shades of Grey, "Manta Ray" from Racing Extinction, "Simple Song 3" from Youth, and "Writing's On the Wall" from Spectre.

Penned by Diane Warren and Gaga for the documentary The Hunting Ground, "Til It Happens to You" has received significant acclaim from fans and critics alike since its release in 2015. The song has racked up more than 20 million views on VEVO and peaked in the Top 10 on the global iTunes chart. It has also received a nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, and a nod at the 21st Annual Critics' Choice Awards for Best Original Song.

The string of nominations builds on a long winning streak for Lady Gaga since Cheek to Cheek was released and topped the charts in 2014. Mother Monster has won her sixth Grammy, received a Songwriters Hall of Fame award, and was named Billboard's 2015 Woman of the Year.
