Oscars 2022: Beyonce, Ariana Grande And Jay-Z Make Best Original Song Shortlist. See Here

The final list of Oscar nominations will be revealed on February 8, and the awards will be handed out on March 27

Beyonce, Jay-Z and Ariana Grande are all in the running for the best original song Oscar, but French shock-fest Titane did not make the shortlist for best foreign film, as the Academy unveiled its annual shortlists Tuesday ahead of the formal nominations. Pop superstar Beyonce's ballad Be Alive - penned for the tennis biopic King Richard, about the father of Serena and Venus Williams (played by Will Smith) - was on a list of 15 tracks, which will be whittled down to a final five before March's Oscars. She will compete against her husband Jay-Z, who produced Netflix Western The Harder They Fall, and teamed up with Kid Cudi for the movie's track Guns Go Bang.

Ariana Grande appears in satire Don't Look Up, in which her pop star character sings Just Look Up to implore the public to take seriously the impending threat of a comet plummeting towards Earth. Billie Eilish's 007 theme song No Time To Die also made the list.

So did Dos Oruguitas from Disney's animated film Encanto, a song composed by "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, who only needs an Oscar to complete the coveted EGOT collection of awards - Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony.

Fifteen contenders were unveiled for the international feature film Academy Award, from among 92 eligible movies. Each country is only permitted to submit one film.
