When the Oscar nominations were announced bright and early on Thursday (Jan. 22), KPop Demon Hunters became just the 14th film to be nominated for both best animated feature film and best original song.

The nominated song from KPop Demon Hunters is of course “Golden,” the global smash that topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks.

Here is a list of the 14 films that have received Oscar nominations for both best animated feature film and best original song. One film on the list, The Princess and the Frog, spawned two Oscar-nominated songs — “Almost There” and “Down in New Orleans,” both written by Randy Newman. Newman also wrote the songs for four other films on the list — Cars, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4 and Monsters, Inc.

Lin-Manuel Miranda and the husband-and-wife team of Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez each wrote the songs for two films on the list.

Two film franchises are each represented with two films. Both Shrek and Shrek 2 qualify, as do both Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4. (The first Toy Story was released in 1995, the second in 1999, both before the introduction of the animated feature film category in 2002.)

When the animated feature film category was introduced, the nomination went to the person(s) most involved in creating the film. Current rules state: “The designated recipient(s) must be the key creative individual(s) most clearly responsible for the overall achievement. There is a maximum of FOUR designated nominees, one of whom must be the credited director who exercised directorial control, and the other(s) of whom must have a director or producer credit.”

Here’s a complete list of the films that were nominated for both best animated feature film and best original song. The years shown are the years of the Oscar ceremony.
