She, alongside BloodPop was nominated for Hold My Hand alongside Rihanna (Lift Me Up from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Diane Warren (Applause from Tell It Like a Woman), Stephanie Hsu, David Byrne and Son Lux (This Is a Life from Everything Everywhere All at Once) and Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava (Naatu Naatu from RRR).

Fellow nominee Rihanna also wowed the audience with her performance of Lift Me Up. The singer, who performed at last month's Super Bowl, showed off her growing baby bump in a stunning black jumpsuit with diamanté fringe.
Meanwhile, Everything Everywhere All at Once was the biggest winner of the night taking home seven wins. In addition to Jamie Lee Curtis' Supporting Actress win, the movie saw Ke Huy Quan pick up the gong for Best Supporting Actor, while leading lady Michelle Yeoh won for Best Actress.
The action movie also won the Best Picture and Best Director category. Away from EEAAO, Brendan Fraser was the other major winner after he predictably won the award for Best Actor for his portrayal in The Whale.
