Beyoncé has been nominated for her first Oscar for the song "Be Alive," and the Beyhive are losing their minds with excitement.
The singer performed the track for King Richard, the biopic that tells the story of Venus and Serena Williams' father Richard, and stars Will Smith in the title role.
The nod marks the first time Beyoncé has been nominated at the Academy Awards as the singer was previously shortlisted for Lion King's "Spirit," which was not nominated for the awards show's 2020 ceremony.
Beyoncé was nominated alongside Dixson for the song and they are joined in the category by Billie Eilish, who was tapped for "No Time to Die," Lin-Manuel Miranda for Encanto's "Dos Oruguitas," Van Morrison for "Down to Joy" in Belfast, and Diane Warren for Four Good Days' "Somehow You Do."
