Oscars 2022 shortlist in full: Beyonce to compete with Jay-Z for best song

Beyonce, Jay-Z and Ariana Grande are all in the running for the Best Original Song Oscar Award, but French shock-fest Titane did not make the shortlist for Best International Feature Film, as the Academy unveiled its annual shortlists on Tuesday ahead of the formal nominations. Pop superstar Beyonce's ballad Be Alive – penned for the tennis biopic King Richard , about the father of Serena and Venus Williams (played by Will Smith) – was on a list of 15 tracks, which will be whittled down to a final five before March's Oscars. She will compete against her husband Jay-Z, who produced Netflix Western The Harder They Fall , and teamed up with Kid Cudi for the movie's track Guns Go Bang . Grande appears in the satire Don't Look Up , in which her pop star character sings Just Look Up to implore the public to take seriously the impending threat of a comet plummeting towards Earth. Billie Eilish's 007 theme song No Time To Die also made the list. So did Dos Oruguitas from Disney's animated film Encanto , a song composed by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, who only needs an Oscar to complete the coveted EGOT collection of awards – Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony. A total of 15 contenders were unveiled for the international feature film Academy Award, from among 92 eligible movies. Each country is only permitted to submit one film. France boasts the most foreign film nominations of any country in Oscars history, but will watch from the sidelines this year after its selection, Julia Ducournau's Palme d'Or-winning body-horror Titane , failed to make the cut. The ultra-violent movie about a female serial killer may have proven too controversial for Academy voters. The shortlist includes frontrunners such as Paolo Sorrentino's coming-of-age drama The Hand of God (Italy) and Ryusuke Hamaguchi's Drive My Car (Japan), based on a Haruki Murakami short story. Iran's Asghar Farhadi – among a select group of auteurs to have won several foreign film Oscars previously with A Separation and The Salesman – again makes the cut with morality drama A Hero . The tiny Himalayan nation of Bhutan is a step closer to its first Oscar nomination with Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom , a comic drama about a reluctant young teacher who is sent to work in the world's most isolated school. Denmark, which won the foreign film Oscar last year for Another Round , again has a strong contender in the form of Flee , which chronicles a homosexual Afghan refugee's perilous journey to Europe. The animated film was also included in the shortlist for Best Documentary Feature, which was also unveiled Tuesday. The Rescue , about the headline-grabbing 2018 race to save a Thai soccer team trapped in a flooded cave , and Questlove's Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) , about the huge but largely forgotten "Black Woodstock" festival that took place in 1969 Harlem, also made the cut.
