Purple and Gold – Upcoming Pixar


Awards season is in full swing, with each the Golden Globes and Critics Alternative Awards happening earlier this month. Turning Purple didn’t win the animation prize at both, which makes its Oscar probabilities a bit exhausting to foretell. Might it pull off a shock win or will or not it’s one of many few Pixar movies to go residence empty handed? 

What’s really stunning — surprising, even — is the dearth of nomination for Finest Unique Music. It’s absurd that 4*TOWN’s hit “No one Like U” was snubbed! It was penned by the songwriting duo of Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell (the voice of 4*TOWN’s Jessie) who additionally produced two different gems for the soundtrack, “1 True Love” and “U Know What’s Up.”

The track did earn a Grammy nomination nonetheless, which is hard-earned. I used to be simply so certain it’d be a shoo-in on the Oscars as properly. It was my most performed track final yr so I simply can’t perceive (or tolerate!) its exclusion. “No one Like U” is just not merely an lively pop traditional that remembers the early 2000s during which the movie is ready. It additionally underscores essentially the most pivotal second of the movie. It might not carry the identical emotional weight as “Keep in mind Me” from Coco, however belief me, it’s simply as vital. Little doubt a efficiency on the Oscars stage could be the spotlight of the ceremony, however how unfair for 4*TOWN to carry out once they aren’t even nominated. The awards present might be aired on March thirteenth.

However one 4*TOWN efficiency we will get pleasure from was on the twentieth Unforgettable Gala, hosted by Character Media, which honors Asians within the leisure trade.

I additionally relate a lot to Turning Purple star Sandra Oh at this efficiency! She’d match proper in with Mei, Priya, Abby, and Miriam.
