After winning this year’s Golden Globe Award for “Best Original Song,” Common & John Legend’s “Glory“, from the film Selma, has been nominated for the Academy Award in the same category.  They could potentially be just the third Hip-Hop/R&B act to win the award, along with Three 6 Mafia’s “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp” from Hustle & Flow, and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” from 8 Mile.

“Glory” represents the first time either Common or John Legend have been nominated for film awards including the Golden Globes and the Oscars.
