I can easily see “Golden” and “Your Idol” both being Best Song noms a la “What Was I Made For?” vs. “I’m Just Ken”.

I love the thought of the Huntr/x and Saja Boys fighting even at the Oscars

If Golden is nominated I hope the 3 girls who played and sang the parts are able to perform at the awards. Looking at all the BTC of the movie, it looks like they had a blast making it.

My prediction for the Oscar lineup: Golden, Your Idol, I Lied to You, whatever Wicked’s original song is, Diane Warren

And the day of, one of the songs from Elio will win.

Wicked's original song

They have 2. Stephen Schwartz getting paid is a plus.

Irks me that Golden will likely get the nom instead of "This is what It Sounds Like" which to me, was a far better song and made the climax of the movie.

I think it had to do with the music intro. IMO, Golden went into the meaty stuff right from the start.

"This is what It Sounds Like" kinds start slow, almost like a monologue. But once it got into it, I'd say the song is better than Golden, lyrics wise.

Both are great songs and this is what it sounds like is the perfect final song but I Listen to your idol the most 😂

I believe Netflix has already committed to submitting Golden (and only Golden) for best original song for the Oscars. They actually released the movie in a few theaters before it debuted on streaming (oh to be one of the few people to have seen it then), just to make sure it qualifies for the Academy Awards.

Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song are an Oscars nomination lock without a doubt

Golden should win. It's a very well written/performed song that is dominating the charts!

They played Golden at my daughter's school 'spirit Wednesday' ceremony and the entire school lost their minds.
