“Golden” may be on the verge of making history at the Academy Awards. The global smash, which won best original song at the Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globes, appears to be the front-runner to win in that category at the Oscars as well. The awards will be presented on March 15 at Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
The song from KPop Demon Hunters topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks and helped the soundtrack top the Billboard 200 for two weeks. The soundtrack spent its first 35 weeks on the Billboard 200 inside the top 10. It’s one of only 10 soundtracks to log 35 or more weeks in the top 10 since Billboard merged its previously separate stereo and mono charts into one comprehensive chart in August 1963. (The Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular weekly basis in March 1956 but split into mono and stereo LP charts from 1959-63.)
“Golden” is one of two best original song nominees that will be performed live on the Oscar telecast. The other is “I Lied to You” from Sinners, which has been a cultural phenomenon. The film received a record 16 Oscar nominations,
