In this year's Academy Award nominations for best original song, the lineup includes a diverse group of talented musicians and songwriters, each bringing their unique backgrounds and artistry to the table. Among the renowned names such as Billie Eilish, Jon Batiste, and Diane Warren stands a lesser-known but equally deserving nominee, Scott George, a member of the Osage Nation tribal community.
Scott George, a housing director dedicated to serving low-income Native Americans, is not only a respected tribal leader but also a skilled musician with four decades of experience performing Osage ceremonial dances. His nomination for composing 'Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)' for Apple's 'Killers of the Flower Moon' shines a light on his rich cultural heritage and musical talent.
