    Hope the Academy regrets snubbing the soundtrack from Gulliermo del Toro’s Pinocchio for both score and Song(Ciao Papa) for idiotic reasons, now Natuu Natuu is a no contest winner, overrated, PODS song that doesn’t deserve the Oscar in the same veins as “Shallow” and “No Time to Die”(which they’ve won Best Song at every award show)

    I think Carter Burwell will win an Oscar for the Best Original Score from “The Banshees of Inisherin”. He’s the best. Carter Burwell is the best.

    “Hold My Hand” for Best Original Song…uggghhhhh.

    So sad that anything music-wise from Top Gun: Maverick was actually nominated for something here since anything involving new pieces or songs were the absolute worst part of an otherwise pretty good movie.
