Earlier during an interview with THR, George shared that he wasn’t expecting to be nominated this year for the Oscars. He said,
“We didn’t really understand what we were in for. When I’ve talked to other people and they said, ‘Well, there were over 200 songs in [consideration], and the people judging this were the composers and musicians,’ it really shed a different light. Because in the beginning, I thought, ‘Well, we’re tied to the movie and, kind of rough to say, but they’re just throwing us a bone.’ Then when they said that, I said, ‘Wow, maybe there’s something to this.’ So I’m like, ‘Wow, that’s just crazy.’”
The 96th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 10, at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and will be televised live on ABC.
