Who's gonna face the music, folks?
Obviously it's a bit tough to predict this particular category without actually knowing what some scores are actually gonna be like but let's give it a shot anyway!
- Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, John Williams - Williams's final entry in the SW world seems like a sure bet. He's received nominations for the other two parts of the new trilogy and I don't see any reason to doubt him this time.
- 1917, Thomas Newman - Ah, Thomas. Always the bridesmaid. Maybe this time will be it for him? I'm not exactly sure whether the type of film they're doing really lends itself to a score that would finally win Newman the Oscar but that's just pure speculation on my part. Who knows, maybe it's gonna be the work of a lifetime. So far Newman has done his very best work for Mendes so I hope that he requested another great work from Newman this time too.
- A Hidden Life, James Newton Howard - The score has been singled out rather often in reactions and reviews and if the film gets some proper campaign support I can see JNH finally returning to the Oscars.
- Marriage Story, Randy Newman - Again, the score has received praise, they quite like Newman and the film is gonna be big. If the score is used prominently enough it should be in. Although previous Baumbach movies haven't really relied on score that much.
- Little Women, Alexandre Desplat - It's Desplat, it's "Little Women"...it's definitely gonna be a very Academy Award friendly score.
After seeing the film, I think this category is the one where "Joker" has the best shot outside of Best Actor. The score is very prominent, it's memorable and it adds to the emotional landscape of the film in a big way. I'm not predicting it as of yet but I think it's got a good shot.
