Diane Warren received her 16th Oscar nomination for best original song on Thursday (Jan. 23) — a tally equaled by only three other songwriters in the 91-year history of the category. Sammy Cahn leads with 26 nods, followed by Johnny Mercer with 18 and Paul Francis Webster, also with 16. Warren was nominated this year this year for “The Journey,” sung by H.E.R. in The Six Triple Eight.
Moreover, this is the eighth year in a row Warren has been nominated, which enables her to tie Cahn for the longest continuous streak of nominations in this category. Cahn was nominated eight years running from 1954 to 1961.

Clément Ducol and Camille have two of the five songs that are nominated for best original song — “El Mal” and “Mi Camino,” both from Emilia Pérez. (They cowrote “El Mal” with the film’s director, Jacques Audiard.) This marks the first time that a songwriter or team of songwriters has had two nominated songs in the same year since 2017, when Justin Hurwitz and the team of Pasek & Paul had two nominated songs from La La Land, “City of Stars” (which won the award) and “Audition (The Fools Who Dream).”
Audiard, nominated for directing and original song for Emilia Pérez, becomes only the third person to be nominated in both the directing and original song categories, and the first to do so for the same film. Leo McCarey and Spike Jonze received their nominations in separate years.
This is the fifth year in a row that one or more non-English language songs has been nominated in the original song category. The streak started with “Io Sì (Seen)” from The Life Ahead (La Vita Davanti a Se) and continued with “Dos Oruguitas” from Encanto, “Naatu Naatu” from RRR and “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” from Killers of the Flower Moon.
Elton John received his fifth Oscar nomination for co-writing “Never Too Late” Elton John: Never Too Late. It’s the second nod for his collaborator Bernie Taupin; and the first for fellow collaborators Brandi Carlile and Andrew Watt. “Never Too Late” is the first song written by four songwriters to be nominated for best original song since “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever two years ago, which was cowritten by Tems, Rihanna, Ryan Coogler and Ludwig Goransson.

“El Mal” from Emilia Pérez; Music by Clément Ducol and Camille; Lyric by Clément Ducol, Camille and Jacques Audiard
“The Journey” from The Six Triple Eight; Music and Lyric by Diane Warren

The Motion Picture Academy released a shortlist of 15 contenders for best original song on Dec. 17. One song, “Forbidden Road” from Better Man (Paramount Pictures) was removed from the shortlist two days later because of similarities to a 1973 film song, “I Got a Name” from The Great American Hero.
Among the notable songwriters who were shortlisted but not nominated: Lin-Manuel Miranda, Pharrell Williams, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
Miranda was shortlisted for writing “Tell Me It’s You” from Mufasa: The Lion King. Miranda has been just an Oscar away from an EGOT since 2014, when he won his first Primetime Emmy. He has been Oscar-nominated twice for writing “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana and “Dos Oruguitas” from Encanto.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, two-time winners in the category (for The Social Network and Soul, a collab with Jon Batiste), were passed over for Challengers.
This was not Hans Zimmer’s year at the Oscars. First, his score for Dune: Part Two was ruled ineligible due to exceeding the Academy’s limit on pre-existing music. Academy rules state: “In cases such as sequels and franchises from any media, the score must not use more than 20% of pre-existing themes and music borrowed from previous scores in the franchise.” Zimmer’s score for Dune: Part Two incorporates substantial elements from his Oscar-winning score for 2021’s Dune. Zimmer was in on the score shortlist for his work on Steve McQueen’s Blitz, but that score failed to land a nomination.
Andrea Datzman was also passed over for Inside Out 2. With this release, Datzman became the first woman to score a Pixar feature film.

After operating a store on the Sixth Avenue side of Rockefeller Center for a little over four years, Rough Trade is now opening a second location in the complex, the retail chain announced Thursday (Jan. 23).
While the smaller existing store at street level will now be known as Rough Trade Above, and will expand its focus on new vinyl, the new location will cover 4,000 square feet and feature “a large selection of artist/band merch, audio hardware” including turntables and Bluetooth speakers, large sections of new and used CDs and vinyl records, plus movies, collectibles and more.
Since it will be housed in the below street-level retail concourse that connects the world-famous Rockefeller Center to the B/D/F/M subway station, the new store will be known as Rough Trade Below. Just like the Sixth Avenue location, which sees heavy foot traffic walking past the store, located between 49th and 50th Streets in Manhattan, the concourse has a steady crowd flow from the subway. What’s more, the retail concourse, also known as Under 30 Rock, draws office workers from the surrounding office buildings. Altogether, the Rockefeller Center complex — which is home to the annual televised Christmas tree lightening that draws heavy foot traffic during the year-end holidays — enjoys 35 million visitors a year, according to Rough Trade.
Trending on Billboard
Rough Trade hasn’t yet disclosed a grand opening date for the new store but says it will open sometime this spring, with the company likely targeting an opening before Record Store Day in April.
“We’re extremely excited to be opening Rough Trade Below this spring, helping us further cater to the tremendous demand from music lovers across the five boroughs and beyond,” Rough Trade co-owner Stephen Godfroy said in a statement. “Creating a focus of counterculture in midtown Manhattan has thankfully proved to be a wildly successful move, and we look forward to creating an even stronger creative community as the year progresses.”
One way Rough Trade expects to do that is by bringing back its famed in-store performances, thanks to the new location’s larger footprint. While the smaller 6th Avenue store has hosted acoustic sets — Green Day, for one — and in-store signings, the new store will be able to handle a larger capacity crowd for performances and intends to bring in household names alongside below-the-radar bands across all genres, the company says. Other artists who have held events at the 6th Avenue store include Coldplay, Charlie XCX and De La Soul, among others.
“It’s clear that the ethos of Rough Trade—to narrow the gap between artist and audience—has struck a tremendous chord, here in New York,” Godfroy added. “Creating an even larger mecca for the music lover is an exciting prospect, especially for our intimate live events, where the world’s most exciting artists perform in-store for the admission of purchasing their new album.”
In-store performances were an exciting element of the original New York Rough Trade store, which opened in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood in 2013 and closed in 2021. That store, housed in a 10,000-square foot space, was split about evenly between retail space and the club, with the latter hosting live concerts but also doubling as an in-store performance space, albeit one in another room separated from the retail section by a wall.
The new store will have a performance space directly within the store next to CD and vinyl racks on castor wheels, which when moved aside will allow for greater occupancy. According to Godfroy —who responded to an e-mail—the setup will accommodate more “intimacy and magic” at in-stores and “make performances all the more unique, memorable and special, for both artists and fans.”
The goal, Godfroy adds, is to “replicate the successful model of our U.K. flagship, Rough Trade East,” in London.
Since moving to Rockefeller Center, Rough Trade has continued to curate live public events, including its annual iNDIEPLAZA music festival and a quarterly concert series in the complex’s Rainbow Room. The Rough Trade presence has helped Rockefeller Center’s management company, Tishman Speyer, revitalize the complex, allowing it to remain “a dynamic destination” for New Yorkers and visitors, according to EB Kelly, Tishman Speyer’s senior MD and head of Rockefeller Center.
“We are thrilled to have Rough Trade expanding into a second location on campus, and join our Under 30 Rock collection of shops,” Kelly continued. “In just three years, the store has become one of Manhattan’s cultural touchstones and a pillar of Rockefeller Center’s dynamic transformation. New Yorkers have shown us how much they love the experience of the current store on Sixth Avenue, and the new space in our lively Under 30 Rock community will allow even more people to enjoy the musical taste of this legendary shop.”
The new Rockefeller Center location expands Rough Trade’s retail footprint to ten stores — seven in the U.K (of which four are in London, along with outlets in Bristol, Nottingham and Liverpool); one in Berlin; and now two in New York.

Hosted by Grammy-winning comedian Tiffany Haddish, the evening features a powerhouse lineup of performers, including Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Linda Perry, Matt Sorum, and Nuno Bettencourt. A special highlight will be a reunion performance by members of Aerosmith.
The event supports Janie’s Fund, the rocker’s nonprofit aiding young women and girls who have survived abuse, and expands its philanthropic reach this year to benefit the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the Widows, Orphans, and Disabled Firefighter’s Fund. The event will welcome more than 100 firefighters who have been at the forefront of combating the California wildfires, to celebrate the major night in music.

“What the Los Angeles community has endured with these wildfires is unthinkable. Music has healing powers and we hope to bring a moment of joy and levity to our first-responder firefighters and those most affected by the fires,” Tyler said. “The trauma experienced by the girls we work with is also unthinkable and we will continue to shed light and support the amazing work of Janie’s Fund.”
The night will include a red carpet, cocktail reception, dinner, live auction, and an exclusive after-party benefitting Janie’s Fund, as well as support both the Widows, Orphans and Disabled Firefighters Fund and Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation by raising critical funds to help meet the immediate needs for lifesaving equipment and resources.
Event Chairs include Ace & Matt Sorum, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Andrea Bocelli, Ashlee Simpson & Evan Ross, Bill Maher, Bo Derek, Chris & Rich Robinson, Dolly Parton, Flavor Flav, Jane Lynch, Kayte & Kelsey Grammer, Lionel Richie, Melissa Joan Hart, Miley Cyrus, Nuno Bettencourt, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, Sammy Hagar, Scarlett Johansson, and Shep Gordon.
Named after Aerosmith’s 1989 hit “Janie’s Got a Gun,” which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won the band their first Grammy for best rock performance, Janie’s Fund has been a lifeline for vulnerable girls. With its expanded mission this year, the event promises to raise vital funds for lifesaving equipment and resources.

Domiio, one of the newer artists on Lil Wayne’s Young Money label, is starting to turn heads in the rap game. He’s from Broomall, PA, just outside of Philly, and he’s been making noise ever since he linked up with Weezy. It was the President and CEO of Young Money Records Mack Maine, and Lil Wayne who immediately took a liking to the young star. Mack Maine and Lil Wayne wasted no time in deciding to sign Domiio to his idol Weezy.
Growing up, Lil Wayne was one of Domiio’s biggest inspirations, and now he’s signed to the same label. It’s crazy how life comes full circle.
Recently, Domiio hit up Hip-Hop Wired for an exclusive freestyle, and he didn’t disappoint. In 2022 Domiio, formally known as Drizzy P, went viral after his Hot 107.9 ATL freestyle. Getting co-signs from huge stars like Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, & many more. All while showing off the skills that got him noticed in the first place.
Domiio’s journey is all about staying hungry and grinding no matter where you come from. Growing up in Philly’s shadow, he soaked up the city’s rap culture, but now he’s got his own lane. Signing with Young Money is just the beginning, and you can expect more heat from him as he builds his name. If you haven’t heard of Domiio yet, it’s time to start paying attention—he’s on his way up.

Emilia Pérez received 13 nominations for the 97th annual Academy Awards, more than any other film this year and more than any other non-English language film in Oscar history. The latter record was previously held by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Roma (2018) with 10 nods each.
Runners-up to Emilia Pérez for most nominations this year were The Brutalist and Wicked, with 10 nods each; A Complete Unknown and Conclave with eight nods each; Anora with six; and Dune: Part Two and The Substance with five nods each.
Two musicals (Wicked andEmilia Pérez) were among the 10 films nominated for best picture. This marks the first time two musicals have been nominated for best picture in the same year since 1968, when Oliver! and Funny Girl were two of the five nominated films that year. The Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown was also nominated for best picture. The nominations were announced on Thursday (Jan. 23).

Three actors from A Complete Unknown – Timothée Chalamet (who plays Dylan), Edward Norton (Pete Seeger) and Monica Barbaro (Joan Baez) – are nominated for acting honors, the first time in Oscar history that three actors from a music biopic have been nominated.
Four actors received Oscar nominations for performances in musicals – Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña for Emilia Pérez, and Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande for Wicked.
Three acting nominations are for non-English language performances: Gascón and Saldaña in Emilia Pérez, and Fernanda Torres in I’m Still Here. In eight of the last 10 years, at least one non-English language performance has been nominated.
For the sixth consecutive year, at least one film nominated for best picture has been directed by a woman. Coralie Fargeat’s nomination for The Substance is the 10th directing nomination for a woman.
Diane Warren was nominated for best original song for the 16th time — a tally equaled by only three other songwriters in the 91-year history of the category. Sammy Cahn leads with 26 nods, followed by Johnny Mercer with 18 and Paul Francis Webster, also with 16. Warren was nominated this year this year for “The Journey,” sung by H.E.R. in The Six Triple Eight. Moreover, this is the eighth year in a row she has been nominated, which enables Warren to tie Cahn for the longest continuous streak of nominations in this category. Cahn was nominated eight years running from 1954-61.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson, sparking more concern and drawing more criticism.
A day after attending the inauguration of President Donald Trump, New York City Mayor Eric Adams was more vocal about his criticisms of former President Joe Biden and his Democratic Party in an interview with Tucker Carlson. The interview, which was previously taped, aired Tuesday night (Jan. 21). “People often say, well, you know, ‘you don’t sound like a Democrat’ and ‘you seem to have left the party,’” Adams said in the interview at Gracie Mansion. “No, the party left me, and it left working-class people.” Adams has stated he will run for office again as a Democrat (he was once a registered Republican in 1990), but has cozied up to Republicans heavily in the last year since being federally indicted on corruption charges.
The 50-minute interview also showed Adams attacking former President Biden, stating that in conversations with aides in the White House, he was told to tone down his criticisms of the administration’s policies regarding migrants entering the U.S. “Basically, be a good Democrat, Eric,” Adams said to Carlson. “That was the basic overall theme.” He also related what another Biden aide told him: “Listen, this is like a gallstone. It’ll pass.” Carlson also touched on Adams’ five federal indictments. “I have no reason to suck up to you,” he said. “I thought it was ridiculous.” Adams responded gaily, ‘When I read it, I was like, where are the bags of cash?”
The interview was a sea change, as the embattled mayor had previously blasted Carlson as someone who “perpetuates racist, anti-immigrant propaganda.” Adams has been under fire after abruptly canceling his appearances at events to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Monday (Jan. 20) to attend Trump’s inauguration, and he offered no comments on Trump’s subsequent executive orders. State Senator Zellnor Myrie, who is running against Adams in the upcoming Democratic primary, ripped the interview in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“If you’re busy tonight, you can catch him on the Steve Bannon podcast tomorrow.” Even one of Adams’ strongest allies, the Reverend Al Sharpton, questioned Adams’ intentions. “To say you’re not going to raise your eyebrows would be being dishonest,” Sharpton said in a segment on MSNBC. “I think this is going to cause a lot of us to say, ‘What is this all about?’”
