Rihanna [1] is now a Grammy, Emmy, and Oscar-nominated artist! The Academy announced the 2023 nominations on 24 Jan., and the "Anti" singer was among the bunch, snagging a best original song nod, her first one ever, for "Lift Me Up" — one of the leading songs featured on the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" soundtrack [2]. She's nominated for "Lift Me Up" alongside her co-writers Tems, Ryan Coogler, and Ludwig Göransson.

Others nominated in the best original song category alongside the "Black Panther [3]: Wakanda Forever" musical team include "Applause" by Dianne Warren from "Tell it Like a Woman"; "Hold My Hand" by Lady Gaga [4] and Bloodpop from "Top Gun: Maverick"; "Naatu Naatu" by M.M. Keeravaani and Chandrabose from "RRR"; and "This Is a Life" by Ryan Lott, David Byrne, and Mitski from "Everything Everywhere All at Once."

Rihanna [5]'s "Lift Me Up" dropped ahead of the Marvel movie's 11 Nov. release date and was previously nominated at the 2023 Golden Globe [6] and Critics' Choice Awards for the same best original song category, though it has yet to earn a trophy. However, the 95th Academy Awards [7], which air on 12 March, could change that.

This wouldn't be the first time Rihanna has been up for a major award. The new mum [8] and Fenty founder — who's also this year's scheduled Super Bowl halftime performer [9] — raked up eight total nominations at the 2017 Grammy Awards for her "Anti" album. She won best rap/sung performance the previous year for her "Monster" collaboration with Eminem [10]. Her "Unapologetic" album also won best urban contemporary album at the Grammys in 2014. Elsewhere, her "Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3," which premiered on Prime Video in 2021, won outstanding choreography for variety or reality programming at the 2022 Emmy Awards [11].

If Rihanna keeps this pace up, she could join the EGOT winners [12] club.
