ABC/Image Group LAWhen the nominations are announced for the 90th Academy Awards next month, Dierks Bentley, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill could very well find themselves in the running for an Oscar.
Dierks’ song “Hold the Light” is one of 70 titles eligible for Best Original Song this year, according to the official list released Monday by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science. Dierks wrote “Hold the Light” for the film Only the Brave, which tells the story of the Granite Mountain Hot Shots, a group of elite firefighters who lost their lives protecting their Arizona community from a wildfire.
Tim and Faith’s song “Keep Your Eyes on Me,” which they wrote and performed for the movie version of the bestseller The Shack — a film Tim also starred in — is eligible as well.
Also among the contenders: Taylor Swift’s duet with Zayn on “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” from Fifty Shades Darker; Nick Jonas’ “Home,” from Ferdinand; and Mariah Carey’s “The Star,” from the holiday film of the same name.
We’ll find out if Dierks or Tim and Faith are nominated when the Oscar nominations are revealed Tuesday, January 23.
