Today, the full list of Oscar nominations was released, and The Weeknd will be pleased to see that he's earned a nomination for his "Fifty Shades of Grey" single (aptly-titled) "Earned It."

The singer has had a carefully-planned, but extremely successful 2015. He welcomed the spotlight for a bit, doing a few different interviews, released a commercial success Beauty Behind the Madness, started dating an "It"-girl model Bella Hadid, and was nominated for seven Grammy awards. 

"Earned It' was nominated for Original Song alongside "Manta Ray," "Simple Song #3," "Til It Happens To You" and "Writing's On The Wall."

We've included the complete list of 2016 Oscar nominations below. You'll notice "Straight Outta Compton" is also nominated, for Best Original Screenplay. Congrats to The Weeknd!
