Songwriters Hall of Fame will celebrate this year’s Oscar nominated songwriters with an all-star virtual event, "A Conversation with 2022 Oscar Nominated Songwriters for Best Original Song," to be presented on March 3, 2022 at 5 pm (PST).
This is the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s 6th annual program that exclusively shines a spotlight on leading songwriters who are nominated for an Academy Award in the prestigious Best Original Song category.
The highly-anticipated event is co-hosted and moderated by Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees Nile Rodgers, who currently serves as Songwriters Hall of Fame Chairman, and Paul Williams, a 1977 Academy Award winner for Best Original Song for “Evergreen.” The star-studded panel features the following Oscar®-nominated songwriters: DIXSON co-writer of "Be Alive" from King Richard (Warner Bros/ HBO MAX); Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell, co-writers of "No Time To Die" from No Time To Die (MGM/ UA); Lin- Manuel Miranda, writer of "Dos Oruguitas" from Encanto (Walt Disney); SHOF inductee and Johnny Mercer Award winner Van Morrison, writer of "Down To Joy" from Belfast (Focus Features); and SHOF inductee Diane Warren, writer of "Somehow You Do" from Four Good Days (Vertical Entertainment).
The nominees will engage in a lively discussion about how they got here, their writing process, the challenges and differences of writing for a film versus a song for a recording artist, and much more.
The virtual event is free to the public with advance registration required via Eventbrite. It will also be available to watch for a limited time on the Songwriters Hall of Fame website songhall.org beginning Thursday, March 3, 2022 at 5 pm. (PST).
