Oh man do I wish Michael Abels would get nominated. He won't.

 

Would be nice to see OUATIH claim production & costume design. And I guess we might as well hand Deakins his second one for 1917 right now?

It’s time for the Academy to give Silvestri his Oscar. If you don’t like AEG/MCU just consider it a 40 Year Apology for them Not Even Nominating Him for his iconic Back To The Future.

Alan did a much better job for IW's score, portal is the only good score in EG, the rest fall flat or replay of IW whereas IW on its own has multiple great score especially when they fit so great to the action scenes.

All of this is true.
 

Also true: Portals > Everything else 

 

Time. For. His. Oscar. 

[stripe]

I see IW and EG as a combo and I would love to see the score nommed.

 

Silvestri deserves his Oscar. Crazy to think he's only been nommed once (Forrest Gump, lost to The Lion King) despite gorgeous themes in films like Back to the future, Predator, Contact or the Avengers. He's also behind hidden gems like The Quick and the Dead, Lilo and Stitch and Mousehunt.

Harriet and Motherless Brooklyn getting 2 noms Score and Song. Great for them. Ad Astra not nommed, biggest surprise for me.

 

1917 and Star Wars might join all these scores

There's only room for 3, right? This is every year the most unpredictable category. I guess Joker / Bombshell / Once upon a time in Hollywood ??

 

With possible Star Wars 9

Even crazier to predict! We can see a film no one was calling nommed.

Right now, my make-up predict

 

Joker

Bombshell

Once upon a time in Hollywood

Star Wars 9

My Best Editing guesses. Full of BP nominees this year, because I can't see a praised action movie sneaking in.

 

1917

Ford v Ferrari

Irishman

JoJo Rabbit

Once upon a time in Hollywood

 

alt. Parasite

 

Possible challengers? Endgame, Joker, Us, Bombshell, Star Wars 9
