Nomination predictions for the Original Score category have been updated on the left column on this page. All top 10 picks of our original predictions made the short list and other shortlisted titles have been added. The positions of the top 5 spots remain unchanged at this point, but Michael Abels’ score for Us has been moved up a few spots to frontrunner status.
I think you mean Michael Abels’ “Us” score. Not “Up.”
The winners should be “Avengers: Endgame” – Alan Silvestri and “Into The Unknown” from “Frozen II”
