As expected, Justin Timberlake, along with Max Martin and Shellback, were nominated for Best Song from a Motion Picture for the international hit Can’t Stop the Feeling from Trolls; however, they face strong competition. Not only are they facing the current “it” person in show business, Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda who wrote How Far I’ll Go from the Disney film Moana with Opetaia Foa’i, but also City of Stars which is poised to be the big song from the breakout hit La La Land.
In a surprise, Iggy Pop was also nominated in the category for Gold from the film of the same name. He wrote the song with Danger Mouse and the film’s Stephen Gaghan and Daniel Pemberton.
