"Earned It" is the most commercially successful song nominated tonight by a wide margin. If "Earned It" manages to take home the prize, it'll be the second major award the song has won in recent weeks: Tesfaye won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance earlier in February. The Canadian pop star (aka Abel Tesfaye) and co-writers Belly, Stephan Moccio, and Jason Quenneville are nominated for their contribution to last year's BDSM blockbuster Fifty Shades of Grey. The Weeknd performed his Oscar-nominated smash "Earned It" alongside a small platoon of dancers, gymnasts, and trapeze artists at tonight's Academy Awards, a performance that had a lot in common with the song's official music video.
