Pharrell Earns Academy Awards Nomination

    Pharrell’s “Happy” earned a nomination for Best Original Song due to its placement on Despicable Me 2’s original soundtrack. Pharrell wrote, produced and performed the song, a selection that also worked as his muse for a 24-hour music video which was released in November.
