Best Original Song Oscar nominees: Songs and the artists that are hot favourites this year

Erika Ender made it to this year&#39;s official list of nominees of the Grammys and it&#39;s a first for any Latina performer to be included in the top honour.&nbsp;

She has now become the first Latina to be nominated for song of the year in the history of Grammys.&nbsp;

Erika got to know of the news while she was preparing to perform alongside&nbsp;Roberto Carlos at an annual Christmas special in Rio de Janeiro when she suddenly got a congratulatory tweet from the academy.&nbsp;

Reacting the news, she said, &quot;As I said in the Latin Grammys, it&#39;s not about competing, it&#39;s about sharing. We are several colleagues sharing as a dream team. Those who sing are obviously the face, but there are those of us who also write and produce, the people from behind who made it all possible -- [it&#39;s about] the importance of union through music.&quot;&nbsp;

She continued: &quot;Women are a minority, but any woman who is determined to achieve their dreams in an honest way, while persevering with their values and talent -- it&#39;s what I have to exemplify at this time. [I have to] raise my voice and empower other women, because I am the only woman involved in what is happening right now.&quot;

Erika also extended her gratitude to all those who helped her along the way to make &quot;Despacito&quot; what it is, &quot;because the road is not done alone.&quot;
