Super Mario Bros. Movie's Peaches Has Been Snubbed By The Oscars

thegamer.com:

It's the end of the year, which means it's almost time for The Oscars. Shortlists for potential nominations have recently been making their way onto social media, including the award for Original Song, which many thought could be won by The Super Mario Bros. Movie for Bowser's very silly yet memorable love song 'Peaches'. Unfortunately, it's been snubbed entirely.

Twitter account Film Updates has shared the full shortlist of potential nominations, and it's not good reading if you're a Mario fan. 'Peaches' is completely absent, meaning it's not even being considered for a nomination, though Barbie has a great shot at winning the grand prize, as 'Dance the Night', 'I'm Just Ken', and 'What Was I Made For' all have the chance of being nominated.

The Color Purple also has a pretty good chance of winning with two songs potentially nominated, while the rest of the shortlist is made up of Asteroid City, American Symphony, Flamin' Hot, Flora and Son, TheHunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Killers of the Flower Moon, Past Lives, Rustin, and Into the Spider-Verse. It could also be a good night for singer Billie Eilish, as she could become the youngest ever double winner if her song 'What Was I Made For" takes home the award.

Billie Eilish won the Oscar for Original Song back in 2022 for 'No Time to Die', which is the theme song for the James Bond movie of the same name.

This list will obviously be narrowed down a little bit for the actual awards show, which is currently scheduled to take place on March 10 next year. All you Super Mario Bros. fans may not have any reason to watch the ceremony next year, but at least you can take solace in the fact that it will more than likely remain the best performing video game
