The unforgettable hit Lose Yourself

8 Mile won the Oscar for Best Music Written Specifically for a Motion Picture. It is about the hit Lose Yourself performed by Eminem himself. The rapper was not present at the ceremony at the time, because he did not think he would stand a chance. It came as a surprise that the movie audience appreciated his hit so much and the rapper was sorry that he wasn’t there, but stayed in his bed instead. Seventeen years later, at the 92nd Academy Awards, the rapper got a rematch, performing his song Lose Yourself and the crowd went wild.
