"El Mal", Emilia Pérez (Music and Lyrics by Clément Ducol, Camille & Jacques Audiard)
"Claw Machine", I Saw the TV Glow (Music and Lyrics by Haley Dahl)
"Sick in the Head", Kneecap (Music and Lyrics by Adrian McLeod, Thomas Mackenzie Bell & Kneecap)
"Blood on White Satin", Smile 2 (Music and Lyrics by Alexis Idarose Kesselman)
"Harper and Will Go West", Will & Harper (Music and Lyrics by Sean Douglas and Kristen Wiig)
"HARPER AND WILL GO WEST", WILL & HARPER (MUSIC AND LYRICS BY SEAN DOUGLAS AND KRISTEN WIIG)
This is the first win and nomination for Sean Douglas. This is Kristen's second win and fourth nomination. Wiig previously won for screen-writing Bridesmaids (2011) and was also nominated individually and as part of the ensemble for Bridesmaids.
The utter delight that overtakes me whenever I think of the great Netflix documentary is immense. The film itself is such a delightful viewing experience and while it's nominated here for song I have to at least mention the greatness of the film overall.
How this original song written by Wiig and Douglas works in the structure of the documentary is so special having been an in real time request by the titular Will & Harper and while we do not hear the whole song until the closing credits unlike usual thrown in end credits themes this song feels so in conversation with the spirit of the film that occurred previously.
Kristen Wiig is of course one of our great comedic talents yet when she creates art like this song I appreciate her talent even more so as her work contains so much heart will spills out through the catchiness of the song and how good it makes you feel after such a comforting film experience that was the documentary Will & Harper
