After winning the Golden Globe for Best Original Song this past Sunday, Common and John are now poised to be just the third hip hop/R&B artists to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song for their Selma single “Glory.”
Both John and Com took to their respective social media accounts to celebrate the good news:
Such an honor for me, @johnlegend @AVAETC and my @selmamovie family. Thanks to @TheAcademy #oscars http://t.co/LYhkejTxAr
