No Beyoncé song won Best Original Song at the 2023 Academy Awards. Beyoncé was nominated for “Be Alive,” written for the film King Richard, but the award went to “No Time to Die” from the James Bond film of the same name.
The 95th Academy Awards took place on March 12, 2023. “Be Alive,” performed by Beyoncé, was one of the nominees in the original-song category and appeared over the closing credits of King Richard.
The song was written by Beyoncé and Dixson. It reflects the film’s focus on the Williams family and the tennis careers of Venus and Serena Williams, whose father Richard Williams is portrayed in the movie.
Beyoncé’s earlier film songs are sometimes mixed into this result. “Spirit” was associated with The Lion King, and “Listen” was written for Dreamgirls, but neither won the 2023 Oscar. The winning song was performed by Billie Eilish and Finneas.
