Eminem made history in 2003 when he became the first rapper to win an Academy Award for Best Original Song with “Lose Yourself.” But now, the rap icon has done it again—and this time, almost no one noticed.
Unlike his first Oscar win, which he famously skipped, Eminem’s latest victory at the Academy Awards happened quietly, without much media attention or fanfare. Even some of his most loyal fans are just now finding out about it.
So, what did Eminem win this time? While he hasn’t been front and center in Hollywood, he’s continued working behind the scenes. Over the years, he’s contributed to movie soundtracks, taken on executive producing roles, and even made unexpected vocal appearances in films. According to insiders, it was one of these recent contributions that earned him his second Oscar—proving once again that Eminem’s influence runs deep, even when he’s not in the spotlight.
Despite his well-known dislike for award shows, fans are wondering if he’ll speak out about this unexpected honor. After all, he made a dramatic return to the Oscars stage in 2020 with a surprise performance of “Lose Yourself.” Could another moment like that be on the horizon?
