In 2019, that was Cynthia Erivo, the Tony Award-winning actress from The Color Purple who played abolitionist Harriet Tubman in the movie Harriet and wrote the song "Stand Up" with Joshuah Brian Campell. Their Oscar competition included previous Oscar winners Randy Newman, Elton John, Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. Did Erivo win her first Oscar, or did an Oscar veteran pick up another statuette? Find out on this episode of The Best Song Podcast!
