“We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Disney’s “Encanto” is a global sensation. Besides trending on social media, topping the music charts, and being played on repeat…
. Miranda, who received his first Oscar nomination for the song “How Far I’ll Go” from another Disney flick, “Moana” , has a very good shot to be included among the final five nominees, despite the deep bench of competitors that includes Beyoncé and Ariana Grande. However, similar to how “Let It Go” from “Frozen” became an undeniable force, Miranda could have been an undisputed frontrunner and the next possible EGOT recipient if “Bruno” had been submitted.
The same thing happened with the hilarious “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,” which was released in February 2020 but was eligible for last year’s Oscars due to the pandemic extension. Lionsgate submitted two tracks for Oscar consideration, “I Love Boobies” and “Welcome to Palm Vista,” neither of which was the showstopper “Edgar’s Prayer,” sang by star Jamie Dornan that has him climbing a palm tree and took the internet by storm.
Per Academy rules, “No more than two songs from any one film by the exact same writers may be shortlisted. If more than two songs from a film by the exact same writers are in contention, the two songs with the most votes will advance to the shortlist. However, no more than two songs from any one film, regardless of writers, may be nominated for the original song award.”
Disney has had a stronghold on the music branch for decades with 14 wins in the category, beginning with “Wish Upon a Star” from “Pinocchio” to their most recent winner, “Remember Me” from “Coco” .
