After winning her first Golden Globe, Lady Gaga now is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song for "Til It Happens to You," a track she co-wrote with Diane Warren for the documentary The Hunting Ground. The film sheds light on rape on college campuses.
It's Lady Gaga's first Oscar nomination. The singer has been on a winning streak lately, scooping up her first Golden Globe for her performance in American Horror Story: Hotel (though that doesn't count toward the EGOT: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony).
Her Oscar competition includes some other mainstream heavy hitters. The Weeknd is nominated for his 50 Shades of Grey song "Earned It." Sam Smith is also nominated, for his Spectre theme "Writing's on the Wall," neatly following the path Adele set before him.
The other nominees include "Simple Song #3" from Youth and "Manta Ray" from Racing Extinction.
