Lin-Manuel Miranda’s ‘Encanto’ Ballad ‘Dos Oruguitas’ Wins at 2022 Guild of Music Supervisors Awards: Full Winners List
Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s “Dos Oruguitas” from Encanto won best song written and/or recorded for a film at the 2020 GMS Awards, presented by the Guild of Music Supervisors virtually on Sunday (March 20). So, does this mean momentum in the Oscar race for best original song is shifting Miranda’s way in the closing days of Oscar balloting? (The final-round voting period for the Oscars runs from March 17-22.) It may be, but you can’t draw that conclusion from this outcome. Miranda’s chief rival for the Oscar, Billie Eilish and Finneas’ “No Time to Die” from the film of the same name, wasn’t nominated here. That James Bond theme still seems to be the song to beat for the Oscar. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news While the Oscar for best original score ...

MESHUGGAH’s TOMAS HAAKE Always Counts Steps While Walking Up Staircases
In a new interview with Elliott Fullam of Little Punk People, MESHUGGAH‘s Tomas Haake was asked if he naturally keeps count of everyday tasks since he’s a drummer. He responded: “Not really. I do have one weird thing, though. I don’t necessarily see the connection with me being a drummer, but maybe there is. And that’s… I really can’t walk up staircases without counting the steps. And for a while, actually, I used to count my steps when I was just walking too. But that would be the only thing where I have some kind of weird OCD that kind of kicks in. But you can ask me, all the staircases that I use in life, that I’ve used more than a couple times, you could ask me, and I would tell you the exact amount of steps for all of them. Anything that’...
