Songwriter and producer Mark Ronson had a hand in two of the shortlisted songs, “Shallow” and “Keep Reachin’.” Other song contenders include Diane Warren for “I’ll Fight” from “RBG,” Boots Riley’s “OYAHYTT” from “Sorry to Bother You,” Quincy Jones’ “Keep Reachin'” from “Quincy” and Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke’s “Suspirium” from “Suspiria.”Īlan Menken, who has won more Oscars than any other living person for his music to animated Disney films, is back with another nomination with the “Ralph Breaks the Internet” anthem “A Place Called Slaughter Race,” a song specifically patterned after many of his other Disney princess songs. In the Original Song category, where “Shallow” from “A Star Is Born” is the presumed frontrunner, other songs on the 15-film shortlist include Kendrick Lamar’s “All the Stars” from “Black Panther,” Dolly Parton’s “Girl in the Movies” from “Dumplin’,” Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings’ “When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings” from “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” and two Marc Shaiman/Scott Wittman songs from “Mary Poppins Returns,” “The Place Where Lost Things Go” and “Trip a Little Light Fantastic.”



“A Star Is Born,” “Mary Poppins Returns,” “Black Panther” and “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” are among the films that remain in the running in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Best Original Song and Best Original Score categories, which revealed their shortlists on Monday.
