This past fall during the October 17th council meeting, citizens in attendance were treated to a special event in chambers. District 3 council member, Eloy Morales Jr. introduced Mayor Butts and the attending council members to one of Inglewood’s favorite daughters. At the end of the council’s business, international vocal star, Becky G was handed the Key to the city in a special ceremony.
Moving forward to this past Sunday, American families settled around their televisions, to watch the 96th annual Academy Awards show, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel at the Hollywood Dolby Theater. The World War Two era movie Oppenheimer walked away with seven Oscars, including the coveted movie of the year statue.
The lovely Eva Longoria had already directed two films before taking charge of the quirky 2023 biopic story, Flamin’ Hot, which received a nomination for the Best Original Song, written by Diane Warren. The song “The Fire Inside ”, faced “What Was I Made For” from the much heralded 2023 summer classic film, Barbie. The Barbie song did however win the Oscar but ahead of the envelope reading, our favorite daughter, Becky G took to the academy award stage and was introduced to an audience of over 16.6 million viewers. She gave a dazzling performance of her musical contribution to the Flamin’ Hot movie soundtrack.
The song was released June 2023 through RCA Records, after her stellar performance at last year’s Coachella. Her given name is Rebbeca Marie Gomez. Ms. Gomez has won two American Music Awards, an iHeartRadio Music Award and nine Latin American Music Awards. She already has the key to our city and she seems on track to win hearts all over the music business.
Congratulations, Ms. G.
