    OMG, STOP NOMINATING BOTH THE MANK AND SOUL SCORE, IF TRENT AND ATTICUS WIN BEST SCORE, IT BETTER BE FOR SOUL, I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL WRITE TONS OF COMPLAINT LETTERS IF SOUL LOSES IN ANY OF ITS THREE OSCAR NODS, SCREW THE ACADEMY

      The moment you understand that awards for film scores have nothing to do with the quality of the music and all to do with the quality of the movie, you’ll find your inner peace.

    I hope their Soul score wins the Oscar, if Trent and Atticus do win, since they basically won nearly every single time Soul is nominated for Best Original Score, it was that good due to its heartfelt notes and the jazz themes of the score by Jon Batiste makes the score extra amazing

    Soul will win anything pertaining to music. Ryan. just like the joker did last year. The music trend now is a score outside the box and otherworldly . Not traditonal!
