At this year’s 19th Annual Academy Awards, fans were eagerly awaiting to see Beyoncé compete with Jay-Z in the same category. The first time a husband and wife contend in the same category – that would be historic.
But it did not happen. Beyoncé’s “Be Alive” from “King Richard” got nominated for Best Original Song category on February 8; on the other hand, Jay-Z’s “Guns Go Bang” from “The Harder They Fall” didn’t get a nomination.
The couple is going head-to-head for Best Song Written and/or Recorded with a Film at the 2022 Guild of Music Supervisors Awards. The 12th annual GMS nominations were revealed on Thursday, February 10.
