Will Ferrell's 'Eurovision' Film Scored An Oscar Nomination & We're Here For It

OK, it's not Jaja Ding Dong, but it's still good.

The 2021 Academy Award nominations have been announced today and see Húsavík - from Will Ferrell's Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga - score a nomination in the Best Original Song category alongside HER's Fight For You (Judas & The Black Messiah) and the Golden Globe award-winning Io Si (Seen) by Diane Warren, Laura Pausini and Niccolò Agliardi (The Life Ahead).

Husavik, composed by Iceland's Atli Örvarsson, is performed by Ferrell and Rachael McAdams in the film, however McAdams' vocals are actually provided by Molly Sandén, AKA My Marianne, who finished third for Sweden at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2006.

Meanwhile, Nine Inch Nails members Trent Reznor and Atticus Rose picked up two nominations for Soul (alongside Jon Batiste) and Mank in the Best Original Score category after winning the Golden Globe for Soul last month.

Mank leads this year's Academy Awards nominations with ten nods, including Best Picture, Best Director (Aaron Sorkin), Best Actor (Gary Oldman) and Best Supporting Actress (Amanda Seyfried).
