Which film featured the Oscar-winning song Golden?

The story behind the answer

The film that featured the Oscar-winning song “Golden” is KPop Demon Hunters.

In the 98th Academy Awards, “Golden” won Best Original Song. It was written by EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick, Joong Gyu Kwak, Yu Han Lee, Hee Dong Nam, Jeong Hoon Seo, and Teddy Park. The award recognized the song itself, not the film’s voice cast or fictional performers.

Within the animated musical, “Golden” is performed by Huntrix, the fictional K-pop group at the center of the story. The song functions as an “I Want” number, expressing Rumi’s ambitions and inner conflict while advancing the group’s battle against demons. It also became a major real-world hit, topping international charts and helping make the soundtrack unusually prominent for an animated film.

A common mix-up is confusing “Golden” with another nominated song, “I Lied to You,” from Sinners. KPop Demon Hunters also won Best Animated Feature, giving it two Oscars at the ceremony.
