Songwriters Hall Of Fame Celebrates Oscar-Nominated Songwriters With All-Star Virtual Event

The Songwriters Hall of Fame is celebrating this year's Oscar-nominated songwriters with an all-star virtual event, "A Conversation with 2023 Oscar-Nominated Songwriters for Best Original Song." The free event is viewable online through February 13 - March 13, 2023 at songhall.org.

This is the Songwriters Hall of Fame's 7th annual program that exclusively shines a spotlight on leading songwriters who are nominated for an Academy Award in the prestigious Best Original Song category. This highly-anticipated event is co-hosted and moderated by legendary songwriters and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees Nile Rodgers, who currently serves as Songwriters Hall of Fame Chairman, and Paul Williams, a Johnny Mercer Award honoree and a 1977 Academy Award winner for Best Original Song for "Evergreen."

The star-studded panel features the following Oscar-nominated songwriters: Chandrabose, co-writer of "Naatu Naatu" from RRR; Ludwig Göransson, co-writer of "Lift Me Up" from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever; Ryan Lott and David Byrne, co-writers of "This is a Life" from Everything Everywhere All at Once; and SHOF inductee Diane Warren, writer of "Applause" from Tell It Like a Woman. 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.

Established in 1969, the Songwriters Hall of Fame honors those whose work represents a spectrum of the most beloved songs from the world's popular music songbook. The Songwriters Hall of Fame's ongoing mission is to celebrate and honor the contributions and legacies of songwriters of all genres of music, while developing and nurturing the next generation of songwriters through Master Sessions, songwriting craft forums, scholarships, and digital initiatives.
