Taylor Swift didn’t make the cut, but Lady Gaga and Rihanna did.
Both superstars are up for the Academy Award for Best Original Song: Lady Gaga for co-writing “Hold My Hand,” from Top Gun: Maverick, and Rihanna for co-writing “Life Me Up,” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
They’re up against “Applause,” written by Diane Warren for the film Tell It Like a Woman, “Naatu Naatu” from the film RRR, and “This Is a Life,” from Everything Everywhere All at Once, written by David Byrne, Mitski and Son Lux.
The 95th Academy Awards will air live on ABC on March 12.
