But when this year’s Academy Award nominations rolled out, fans were surprised to see that “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” wasn’t nominated for Best Original Song.
Besides Best Original Song, Encanto also received nominations for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score.
In particular, the toe-tapping “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” skyrocketed to the number one slot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, a feat that’s only been accomplished by one other Disney song — “A Whole New World” from Aladdin.
Encanto charmed audiences with its heartfelt story and magic realism, but it was its memorable soundtrack that garnered the most buzz.
