“Nothing Is Lost” has shortlisted The Weeknd for the 2023 Oscars. If nominated, it will be the acclaimed performer’s second Academy Award consideration after his 2015 contender “Earned It” from Fifty Shades Of Grey.
“It’s a gift. It’s a blessing. Jim [James Cameron] and [producer] Jon [Landau] and Simon [Franglen] — they really made me feel like I was the only one that could do this song,” the 32-year-old singer shared with The Hollywood Reporter on creating the theme song.
