Beyonce is one step closer to EGOT territory as she landed her very first Oscar nomination for original song.
The nominations for the Academy Awards were announced earlier this morning, with Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan doing the honors.
Bey was named in the category for original song for her Be Alive banger, in the soundtrack for King Richard.
She will be battling tough competition for the gong, alongside Billie Eilish hit No Time To Die, from the James Bond flick of the same name, and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Dos Oruguitas from Encanto.
Down To Joy from Belfast, by Van Morrison, and Diane Warren’s track Four Good Days Somehow You Do have also been named in the category.
Fans went into meltdown over the news, flocking to Twitter to celebrate Queen Bey’s nod.
‘Congratulations Academy Award nominee @Beyonce! #BeAlive #Oscars,’ a delighted follower wrote.
‘Beyoncé and Billie Eilish performing on the same stage on the same night makes so much sense with my fantasy #Oscars,’ a Twitter user replied.
One posted: ‘Hopefully the #Oscars get it right this time. Because Beyoncé killed that song.’
‘#Oscars Beyonce congratulations on THOSE HARMONIES,’ another screamed.
