95th Oscars: Best Score | Nominee Spotlight

[luisdav]

I WISH babylon would win, it really is the one that deserves the award the most, it can be a bit repetitive but it is the one that makes us feel something, something that manages to be so spectacular in this soundtrack

[diegoperleche]

Well, when no here The Batman or Black panther, I go to the Babylon's score.
Let's go Justin Hurwitz, let's go for this Is Oscar.
Seriously, Babylon's soundtrack is a masterpiece...

[radioactive]

My prediction: Babylon
My favorite: Everything Everywhere all at once
My favorite outside nominees: Aftersun

Justin Hurwitz for Babylon for Best Score 💯%

[Gavin]

All quiet should Win. Very haunting and memorable

[jonathanvelazquezph.d.]

The clip used for here for All Quiet on the Western Front doesn't do it justice. It's really amazing and has such a powerful effect over the movie.

[traydaniel]

The Batman, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Avatar: The Way of Water also should’ve been nominated for Best Score

[benson]

The other films have great scores but I’ve never heard a score like All Quiet On The Western Front.

[noahmatsukihalbur]

Personally for All Quiet 🔥
The other scores were brilliant too!

[GettinThoseHeadshots]

All Quiet or Babylon and I’ll be happu

[wohola]

I actually listen to 5 scores! EEAAO is the most diverse. It has a variety of music genres, colors and emotions. The everything bagel is so beautiful. The Peking opera singing is so good, I don’t want it to end. Banshees’ score is very beautiful too. They are in the same style though. All quite is simple and effective, but it is too simple and too dark to be enjoyed over and over. I just keep listening to EEAAO and Banshees. I hope either one would win!

[Luca]

Babylon score is unbelievable!!🤩🤩
For me deserved this Oscar, I hope it will win in the category!😉

[ClassicalMusic]

I’m disappointed Desplat didn’t get in but I like all these nominees

[zuhourali]

Volker Bertelmann -All quiet on the Western Front 👍👍👍

[baierogers]

They really did All Quiet dirty in this montage. It's an effective, haunting, and surprisingly versatile score that really enhanced the film, both narratively and thematically!
I'm still shocked that The Batman, Wakanda Forever, Women Talking, or Pinocchio didn't get nominated.

Babylon, The Banshees and The Fabelmans all have magnificent soundtrack.
The Batman and Desplat's Pinocchio were heavely snubbed (over-used term though). The Batman not making even the shortlist is crazy!
AQOTF still has fabulous soundtrack as well. But EEAAO...

[samuelbarber]

With nominations for The Batman or Till, I think I’ll go with The Fabelmans. John Williams is amazing.

[jeffreyksiazek]

In the words of Josh Nichols from "Drake & Josh", John Williams should win for "The Fabelmans". FABELMANS!!! 🎼🏆

[RonReynolds]

Babylon was the "best" score of this year's nominees, but I have a soft spot for John Williams. Even though this wasn't one of his more "memorable" scores, I think he might get it this year, as a gesture to the maestro, who we might not hear from too many more times.

[heymistercarter.]

Many have given great options for what could've been included. To me, the BIGGEST loss was not having Pawel Mykietyn's score for EO on here. That score is haunting, beautiful, and effective in terms of what the movie's going for.
