Among the score composers, John Williams received his 51st Oscar nomination, Hans Zimmer was honored with his eleventh nomination, Alexandre Desplat received his ninth nomination and Carter Burwell was nominated for the second time. The only first time nominee in the Best Original Score category is Jonny Greenwood.
It’s going to be Carter Burwell for sure.
I think Desplat will win. He already won the golden globe.
Predictable. Desplat will have another award on his shelf…
Interestingly “Beauty and the Beast” didn´t get any nomination, neither the score nor the songs. Quite a disappointment IMHO!
If the same songwriters from La La Land win for This is Me, I would go bonkers, wish they don’t have a movie in the bag for this year
Out of these, it should go to either Williams or Desplat.
Dunkirk?? Really??? Did these people even listen to that endless boring droning score before nominating it? What are they smoking over there?
