'Naatu Naatu' wins best original song, edging out pop royalty
“Naatu Naatu” from “RRR" won the Golden Globe for best original song, a big win in a stacked category.
The Indian film has a huge following, but some might consider it a surprise win considering the competition. Some of the world’s biggest stars — Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Rihanna — were nominated in the category.
But M.M. Keeravani, who accepted the award on behalf of the three songwriters, shared the win with the rest of his "RRR" team.
"It's been an age-old practice to say this award actually belongs to someone else," Keervani said. "I was planning not to say to those words when I get an award like this, but I'm sorry to say that I'm going to repeat the tradition, because I mean my words."

"I'm here because I'm Black," he said in reference to last year's controversy. The award show did not air on NBC last year because the Hollywood Press Association "did not have a single Black member until George Floyd died," Carmichael said.

“I was raised to never forget where I came from and always remember who gave me my first opportunity," he said. "I’m so happy to see Stephen Spielberg here tonight. Stephen thank you. When I started my career as a child actor in 'Indiana Jones' … I started to wonder if that was it, if that was just luck."
Quan is the first actor of Asian descent in nearly 40 years to win in his category, with the last being Haing S. Ngor for his role in “The Killing Fields” in 1985. The actor beat out Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan, who were nominated separately for their roles in “The Banshees of Inisherin,” Brad Pitt for “Babylon,” and Eddie Redmayne for “The Good Nurse.”
Quan’s performance in “Everything Everywhere,” where his kind and hopeful character helps save the multiverse and keep his marriage and family together, has been critically acclaimed.
