Oscars 2023 Predictions: Best Original Song

CATEGORY COMMENT: "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" received rave reviews and even delivered a possible favorite for Best Original Song in the form of Rihanna's "Life Me Up," the new track she sings and co-wrote with Ryan Coogler and Ludwig Göransson.

She won't be the only big name in the song race because big names like the winners from last year's Billie Eilish and Finneas return with "Nobody Like U" from "Turning Red" while Lady Gaga's "Hold My Hand" from "Top Gun: Maverick" will surely be on voters' minds. /p>

Taylor Swift, who just announced her new tour dates, has two Oscar snaps with her short film "All Too Well" which features "Stranger Things" star Sadie Sink and her song "Carolina" from the movie "Where the Crawdads Sing".

There are the usual suspects in the discussion as well as honorary Oscar winner Diane Warren who wrote "Applause" from the documentary "Tell It Like a Woman" and Marc Shaiman, who wrote "Love is Not Love" from "Bros" with star and co-writer Billy Eichner.
