The Flowers hitmaker used her appearance at the Palm Springs Film Festival recently to address the competitive nature of awards season, telling attendees the industry should focus on collective achievement rather than rivalry.<\/p>\n
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Miley told the audience: \u201cSo often during awards season, we\u2019re set up as competitors, but we\u2019re meant to be a community, not opponents. There is no single best; it\u2019s only our personal best work.<\/p>\n
\u201cNumbers can make it feel like a sport, but performance runs so much deeper than a scoreboard, because each artist they bare their soul in a completely unique way, and every contribution leaves its own mark on history.”<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cWhether you\u2019re in or out of this industry, we all have a persona, even the ones that are rooted in authenticity, because self-creation is an art form, and all of us, we perform genuinely.<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThat\u2019s something that I deeply admire in both award-winning actors and actresses, and the drag queens of Toucans \u2014 they\u2019re kind of the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe 33\u2011year\u2011old star recently landed the end\u2011credits track Dream As One for Avatar: Fire and Ash after casually telling director James Cameron she was available. She became involved in the project after the pair were both honoured as Disney Legends at the D23 Expo in August 2024, where Miley seized the moment.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking to PEOPLE, she admitted she put the offer on the table: \u201cI kind of throw it out there as I always do.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI already knew the answer to, \u2018So what have you been up to?\u2019 I know he\u2019s been up to Avatar for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMiley recalled telling Cameron \u2014 who was deep into production on the third Avatar film \u2014 to: \u201cJust lemme know if you ever need any music.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe collaboration \u201corganically” happened, she added, joking that Cameron now refers to them as \u201cLegends-in-law\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s not the first time her direct approach has worked. Miley also penned Beautiful That Way for the 2024 film The Last Showgirl, starring Pamela Anderson and Jamie Lee Curtis \u2014 a track that went on to earn a Golden Globe nomination.<\/p>\n
\nShe laughed: \u201cI did the same thing to Jamie Lee Curtis.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThat\u2019s how I ended up doing The Last Showgirl and now being a part of Avatar.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe End of the World singer even attended the Oscars last year with one goal in mind: meeting filmmakers who might need original music.<\/p>\n
\nShe admitted: \u201cEverybody that came up and introduced themselves, I said, \u2018Well, if you need any music, I\u2019m around.'”<\/p>\n
\nHer enthusiasm doesn\u2019t stop at film. Miley revealed she even offered her services to the creators of Netflix\u2019s Baby Reindeer: \u201cI don\u2019t know what I would write for Baby Reindeer season two, but I threw that out there!\u201d<\/p>\n
\nReflecting on why she loves writing for screen projects, Miley said she\u2019s always been drawn to the way music and movies intertwine.<\/p>\n
\nShe explained: \u201cI really feel myself attached to songs.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere are certain songs \u2014 even if they were written for the film or just used in the film \u2014 like I Will Always Love You, where you immediately think of the movie. They become embedded.\u201d<\/p>\n
