'Golden' from 'KPop Demon Hunters' makes history with 2026 Oscar nomination
"It was a full circle moment for singer-songwriter EJAE, who shared in her Golden Globes speech earlier this month that she trained for 10 years to be a K-pop idol but was rejected. Reflecting on her journey, she said that she would tell her younger self now that she's "so thankful and proud of her." "Golden" serves as an anthem for "KPop Demon Hunters" and is performed by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, the singing voices behind the film's fictional K-pop group, HUNTR/X."
""Golden" sat atop the Hot 100 list for eight weeks from mid-August through mid-October, according to Billboard, and currently sits near the top of the Billboard Global 200, where it previously held its No. 1 ranking for 20 weeks. So far this awards season, the songwriters have won the Critics Choice Award for best song and the Golden Globe for best original song."
"The songwriters behind "Golden," the hit song from the popular Netflix film "KPop Demon Hunters," are officially Oscar nominees. "Golden" was announced as a nominee for best original song during a live presentation on Thursday morning, ahead of the 98th Academy Awards on March 15. Other songs nominated in the category include "Dear Me" from "Diane Warren: Relentless," "I Lied to You" from "Sinners," "Sweet Dreams of Joy" from "Viva Verdi!" and "Train Dreams" from "Train Dreams.""
The Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters features the song "Golden," written by Kim Eun-jae (EJAE), Mark Sonnenblick, 24, Ido and Teddy, which earned a nomination for Best Original Song at the 98th Academy Awards. "Golden" became the first K-pop song ever nominated in the category. The song is performed by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami as the singing voices of the film's fictional group HUNTR/X. "Golden" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks and previously held No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 for 20 weeks. The songwriters have won the Critics Choice Award and the Golden Globe this awards season.
