The list of Oscar nominations is in, with The Power of the Dog leading the way, but some of our favorite recording artists also made the cut. Beyoncé and Billie Eilish are among the songwriters in the running for the Academy Award for the best original song.

Eilish is sharing her Oscar nomination with her brother and creative partner Finneas O’Connell for their work on the theme song from the latest James Bond movie No Time To Die. Beyoncé was nominated alongside DIXSON for “Be Alive” from King Richard.

The chart-topping soundtrack of Disney’s Encanto is also on the list of nominees, but not with the song you would expect. “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” was never even submitted for the awards consideration, and “Dos Oruguitas” written by Lin-Manuel Miranda was nominated instead.

The list of nominees for the best song also includes “Down to Joy” from Belfast by Van Morrison and “Somehow You Do” from Four Good Days by Diane Warren. When it comes to the best original score category, Don’t Look Up, Dune, Encanto, Parallel Mothers, and The Power of the Dog will be competing for this award.

The 2022 Academy Awards are scheduled to take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 27th.

Legendary North-Irish singer-songwriter and instrumentalist Van Morrison doesn’t show any signs of slowing down even at age 73. Morrison just announced that his 40th studio album, titled The Prophet Speak, will be out on December 7th.

The album will see Van Morrison presenting six original songs, while also delivering eight covers of classics like Solomon Burke’s “Gotta Get You Off My Mind,” John Lee Hooker’s “Dimples,” and Sam Cooke’s “Laughin’ and Clownin’.” Besides the musician’s backing band, The Prophet Speak will also feature an appearance from renowned jazz organist and trumpeter Joey DeFrancesco.

“It was important for me to get back to recording new music as well as doing some of the blues material that has inspired me from the beginning,” said Morrison in a statement. “Writing songs and making music is what I do, and working with great musicians makes it all the more enjoyable.”

This will be Van Morrison’s second album of the year since he already presented his 39th studio release, You’re Driving Me Crazy, back in April. It also contained mostly his interpretations of classics accompanied by some Morrison originals. The record peaked at number 76 at the US Billboard 200, while reaching the top 10 in Spain and New Zealand.
