The Greatest Showman's "This Is Me" Wins Best Original Song Golden Globe

If you're a music fan, and you haven't seen The Greatest Showman yet, you should probably take a little trip to the movie theater, because the film took home the Golden Globe for Best Original Song this year with its anthem "This Is Me."

In the category, "This Is Me" was up against "Mighty River" from Mudbound, "Remember Me" from Coco, "The Star" from The Star, and "Home" from Ferdinand.

The Greatest Showman (which was also nominated for Best Motion Picture) is a musical that celebrates the birth of show business and stars Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Zac Efron, and Zendaya. "This Is Me" is originally performed in the film by Keala Settle (who plays Lettie Lutz in the movie), and just recently, a version sung by Kesha was was released.

The award was accepted by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, who have worked on projects like La La Land and Dear Evan Hansen. The duo thanked the cast, director Michael Gracey, as well as Keala.

Kesha released her version of "This Is Me" back in December, and tweeted out to all of her followers about the track, "I hope this song inspires all my animals to embrace everything that you are. You all are magical and I love you."

Mariah Carey, who sings "The Star" from The Star, tweeted out a message of congratulations for "This Is Me," writing, "Congratulations 'This Is Me'! A beautifully written song and very deserving. Marc & I will try another year!"

And prior to the awards, Nick Jonas, who not only appears in Jumanji, but also sings the Golden Globe nominated "Home" from animated film Ferdinand wrote on Twitter, "I can’t believe this... I’m on my way to the #GoldenGlobes2018 as a nominee, and #jumanji is number one at the box office and just passed the 500 million dollar mark worldwide. I’m so incredibly grateful. Whatever happens tonight I’m just gonna have a great time and celebrate.
