Rihanna [1] is now a Grammy and Oscar-nominated artist! The Academy announced the 2023 nominations [2] on Jan. 24, and the "Anti" singer was among the bunch, snagging a best original song nod, her first one ever, for "Lift Me Up" — one of the leading songs featured on the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" soundtrack [3]. She's nominated for "Lift Me Up" alongside her cowriters Tems, Ryan Coogler, and Ludwig Göransson.

Others nominated in the best original song category alongside the "Black Panther [4]: Wakanda Forever" musical team include "Applause" by Dianne Warren from "Tell it Like a Woman"; "Hold My Hand" by Lady Gaga [5] and Bloodpop from "Top Gun: Maverick"; "Naatu Naatu" by M.M. Keeravaani and Chandrabose from "RRR"; and "This Is a Life" by Ryan Lott, David Byrne, and Mitski from "Everything Everywhere All at Once."

Rihanna [6]'s "Lift Me Up" dropped ahead of the Marvel movie's Nov. 11 release date and was previously nominated at the 2023 Golden Globe [7] and Critics' Choice Awards for the same best original song category, though it has yet to earn a trophy. However, the 95th Academy Awards [8], which air on March 12, could change that.

This wouldn't be the first time Rihanna has been up for a major award. The new mom [9] and Fenty founder — who's also this year's scheduled Super Bowl halftime performer [10] — raked up eight total nominations at the 2017 Grammy Awards for her "Anti" album. She won best rap/sung performance the previous year for her "Monster" collaboration with Eminem [11]. Her "Unapologetic" album also won best urban contemporary album at the Grammys in 2014. Elsewhere, her "Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3," which premiered on Prime Video in 2021, won outstanding choreography for variety or reality programming at the 2022 Emmy Awards [12].

If Rihanna keeps this pace up, she could join the EGOT winners [13] club.
