Warner Bros. has officially submitted two original songs from Ryan Coogler’s genre-defying “Sinners” for consideration in the original song category at the Oscars, Variety has learned exclusively.
The first track, “I Lied to You,” is written by Raphael Saadiq and Ludwig Göransson and performed by rising star Miles Caton. The second, “Last Time (I Seen the Sun),” is a soulful duet performed by Alice Smith and Caton and co-written by Smith, Caton and Göransson.
While it’s still early in Oscar season, many awards prognosticators expect one — or both — of the submissions to make the Academy’s shortlist of 15 original songs, expected in mid-December. From there, five will be nominated, as selected by the Academy’s music branch.
Under Academy rules, a film may submit up to three original songs for consideration. While all three may be shortlisted, only two can ultimately receive nominations.
