A two-time winner: in 1995 with “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” (The Lion King) and in 2020 with “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” (Rocketman).

• Adele

Won the Oscar in 2013 with “Skyfall”, the theme song for 007, one of the most iconic tracks in the franchise.

• Lady Gaga

Won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2019 with “Shallow”, from A Star Is Born. A victory that solidified her strength in cinema as well.
