Following its nominations for best animated feature and original song "Golden," Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters secured both awards at the 98th Academy Awards on March 15, 2026. HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” performed by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and REI AMI, won best original song presented by Lionel Richie—marking the first K-pop winner and first with more than four credited writers. The acceptance speech was cut short by the orchestra, drawing boos from the audience.
Diane Warren became the most-nominated person without a competitive Oscar win after her 17th best original song nomination loss at the 2026 Academy Awards. The songwriter for 'Dear Me' from the documentary *Diane Warren: Relentless*—performed by Kesha—lost to 'Golden' from *KPop Demon Hunters*. She embraced the record with humor in interviews and on social media, despite receiving an honorary Oscar in 2022.
