00:00 The Oscar nominations are here! JLo flops, J-Huds got a man and Rihanna fangirls.
00:06 We hang out with Flavor Flames. They compare Mary J. Blige to who?
00:11 And we learn about Yvonne Cornejo.
00:13 It's Tetris, it's Tuesday and it's January 23rd.
00:20 Welcome to Billboard News. Now it is spicy in these music streets.
00:24 But before we get into the tea of the day, let's jump over to the movie biz for the Oscar noms.
00:30 Billie Eilish may earn her second Oscar while everyone notices a
00:33 major snub. Here are your 2024 Oscar nominations.
00:37 Billie Eilish and Finneas earned their second Oscar nomination for "What Was I Made For."
00:46 If she takes home the trophy for best original song,
00:49 that will make her a two-time Oscar winner at just the age of 22.
00:54 But she'll have to beat out Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson, Scott George, Diane Warren,
00:59 who received her 15th nomination but has yet to win,
01:03 and fellow Barbie soundtrack writers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt.
01:07 Noticeably missing from the category, Dua Lipa's "Dance the Night."
01:11 And the most talked about snub of this year's Oscars is Margot Robbie not
01:19 getting a Best Actress nomination. Ryan Gosling did get nominated for Best Supporting Actor,
01:25 which begs the question, did the Academy miss the message of the film?
01:28 Barbie got a total of eight nominations,
01:31 including Best Picture and a Supporting Actress nod for America Ferreira.
01:35 You can see who takes home trophies March 10th on ABC
01:38 and head to Billboard.com to see the full list of nominations.
01:42 And now that we have that out of the way, here's three things you should know.
01:47 "You are one of the hottest b*tches in Hollywood forever."
01:51 How cute was this viral video of Rihanna praising Natalie Portman at the Dior fashion show during
01:58 Paris Fashion Week? We love queens supporting queens. And from this to Zayn's run over foot,
02:03 Paris Fashion Week is giving us content, baby.
02:07 JLo had everybody talking when she released a trailer for her visual project,
02:11 "This Is Me Now." But what's got her in the news today is what acting of hers wasn't appreciated.
02:17 The Razzies have nominated her for Worst Actress for her role in Netflix's "The Mother."
02:22 But honestly, in the film, she was mothering. I think it was fine. Well, for a movie in which
02:27 Jennifer Lopez is a deadly assassin who needs to protect the daughter she gave up for adoption.
02:31 And it gets no cuter than revealing your relationship on national TV.
02:36 I'll hand it over to Common.
02:37 "Set my standard kinda high, 'cause she had to have an E-Guy.
02:40 She had to win an Oscar on her first movie.
02:45 I set my standard high. She had to get her own talk show.
02:47 On your own show, girl? He did that. Now they're commenting Jennifer Hudson, our official. I'm
02:54 already over here like, where's the music? We need the material. Power couple, indeed.
03:00 And the news doesn't stop there. When it comes to the queens of R&B, there is a debate brewing.
03:05 Charlamagne and DJ Envy are in hot water for comparing SZA to Mary J. Blige.
03:10 When I look at SZA, I look at, and I don't want to compare.
03:13 No, I get what you're saying. That's what I mean.
03:16 The way, we had our Mary J. Blige.
03:20 Right, that's what I was gonna compare. She is this generation's head on.
03:23 Yesterday on The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne and Envy were talking about how talented
03:28 they think SZA is and how they believe she doesn't get the recognition she deserves.
03:32 Do we respect and support her as we should, as the star that she is? I don't think people do.
03:37 That's why I asked the question.
03:38 Music, yes, but as the star that she is, no.
03:43 Yeah, she's not on the proper pedestal, I think she should be.
03:48 She should be the bar for a lot of people.
03:50 But folks online are taking issue with the SZA/Mary J. Blige comparison.
03:55 Some think SZA hasn't reached Mary J.'s level yet,
03:58 while others said they just make different types of music.
04:01 Well, Charlamagne and DJ Envy heard them and they addressed those comments today.
04:06 Let the record show, I never said SZA was this generation's Mary J. Blige.
04:10 DJ Envy said that.
04:11 Yeah.
04:12 All I said was, I'm not sure we appreciate SZA the way we should,
04:16 but she is one of them and by them I mean she is clearly on her way to being an all-time great.
04:22 Okay, the jealousy is real.
04:24 Run, you got to hang out with my brother Flavor Flav. Let's check it out.
04:28 Song now transposed into like 30 different languages.
04:32 This song is Spanish.
04:34 I was bugging out because I'm like, wow, listen to my voice in Spanish.
04:38 Listen to my voice in…
04:41 Korean.
04:41 Like Korean.
04:43 That's so cool.
04:44 Yeah, you know, and I never ever thought that I would be speaking Korean.
04:48 You know what I'm saying? But hey, thanks to AI and not only that, but I'm glad that
05:00 this is happening because AI has been misused so much, you know, and there's a lot of people
05:06 that's not using it correctly, so I feel that I'm one of the first ones to show the example of AI
05:14 being used. Out of the Swifties, they got together and they sent me a few presents.
05:18 Yeah.
05:19 So this shirt happens to be one of them and we turn around.
05:24 It's your eras.
05:25 Yeah, you all see that?
05:27 Look at that.
05:27 Hold on, let me hold this up.
05:28 So thank you, thank you all of my fellow Swifties.
05:32 You know what I'm saying?
05:35 He has his own era.
05:36 Thank you all my fellow Swifties.
05:38 Is there an album era of hers that you're very into?
05:41 1989.
05:42 Yeah, I think that's all of us right now.
05:44 1989, you know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna lie. She's, yo, she's bad with it.
05:48 She really is.
05:49 I don't care what nobody say. She's one of the most, most important and influential artists
05:55 of our time right now.
05:56 100%.
05:57 Breaking records. I don't know no other artist, man, that can draw a crowd and hit
06:03 director scale with it. Come on.
06:05 For the full interview, hit Billboard.com.
06:08 Hey, what's up guys? It's Ivan Cornejo and here's five things you guys probably didn't
06:12 know about me.
06:13 The first one is I hate olives. I'm allergic to mushrooms. If I wasn't a singer, I would
06:27 have been working to try to be an actor. I love history. I love watching like old documentaries
06:34 about like war and stuff and just learning about the past. And I love Michael Jackson.
06:39 And those are five things you probably didn't know about me.
06:43 You did it, Joe. Thanks for hanging. Tomorrow's show we get some one-on-one time with Don Omar.
06:49 See you then on Billboard News.
