Which Beyoncé film won her an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song in 2022?

King Richard earned Beyoncé an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song in 2022.

Beyoncé wrote and performed “Be Alive” for King Richard, a biographical sports drama about Richard Williams and the early development of his daughters Venus and Serena Williams. The song plays over the film’s end credits and celebrates Black achievement, family, and perseverance.

The film stars Will Smith as Richard Williams and focuses on the family’s demanding path toward professional tennis. Smith won the Academy Award for Best Actor for the role.

“Be Alive” was Beyoncé’s first Academy Award nomination. The song was co-written with Dixson and was also nominated for a Golden Globe. At the Oscars, however, Best Original Song went to “No Time to Die” from the James Bond film of the same name.
