Can we discuss how the Oscars dissed “Bruno”?
That’s proper, “We Don’t Speak About Bruno” — that “Encanto” earworm that topped the Billboard Sizzling 100 for 5 weeks, turning into solely the second No. 1 music ever from a Disney animated movie (after “A Complete New World” from “Aladdin” in 1993) — by some means wasn’t even nominated for Finest Authentic Tune on the 2022 Academy Awards.
And to make issues even stranger, one other music from “Encanto” — “Dos Oruguitas,” carried out by Sebastián Yatra — was nominated within the class that additionally consists of Billie Eilish’s “No Time to Die” (from James Bond hit movie “No Time to Die”), Beyoncé’s “Be Alive” (from “King Richard”), Reba McEntire’s “Someway You Do” (from “4 Good Days”) and Van Morrison’s “All the way down to Pleasure” (from “Belfast”).
But it surely’s not the Oscars’ fault for overlooking “Bruno.” The music — which, like “Dos Oruguitas,” was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda — was not submitted for nomination by Disney. A part of that's as a result of Oscar submissions wanted to be made by Nov. 1, earlier than “Bruno” grew to become a smash hit this 12 months — and earlier than “Encanto” was even launched.
Disney and Miranda settled on “Dos Oruguitas” because the submission from “Encanto” as a result of the music is extra emotional and is used throughout a key second within the movie. And when you can submit as much as two songs from a film, Disney’s technique was to not doubtlessly break up the vote with one other “Encanto” tune.
“I’m nonetheless pleased with ‘Dos Oruguitas’ because the submission,” Miranda, who was unable to attend the ceremony, advised Selection. “When these are the parameters, you must decide the factor that greatest exemplifies the spirit of the film, and it incorporates all of it inside this music — versus a journey of a specific character. It’s the foundational story, however I’m not going to say it wasn’t exhausting [to choose].”
