‘Golden’ From ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Wins Best Original Song at 2026 Oscars, But Speech Is Cut Short

EJAE spoke on behalf of the seven-person team behind the song, but when one of her co-writers started speaking, their acceptance speech was played off.

“Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters took home the prize for best original song at Sunday’s 2026 Oscars following a triumphant performance from the singing voices of HUNTR/X, but EJAE and company’s heartfelt speech ended up being cut short when one of her collaborators was prematurely played off.

By winning best original song at the 98th Oscars, “Golden” set several records, becoming the first K-pop song to win an Oscar; the first song with more than four writers to win an Oscar; and the first best song winner where all of the writers won’t receive an individual trophy.
