I've screened a lot of films this year so I'm particularly curious as to who is going to actually earn the nomination. There's one film though that better be nominated *cough* and win *cough* for best original song and that is "Encanto's" "We Don't Talk About Bruno" written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. That song has been stuck in the heads of children and adults around the globe since the film debuted in December!

Not familiar with it? Now you are.

You're welcome!
