Best Original Score 2024

Recommended Posts

This year the score field looks very unpredictable, with many less known composers in charge of possible BP movies. Which ones do you think will end nommed? These are some scores that should be in contention

 

Blitz – Zimmer

Dune 2 – Zimmer (already listened, very strong new theme in it)

Here – Alan Silvestri

Conclave – Sam Hulick

Anora - Matthew Hearon-Smith

Challengers – Reznor & Ross (already listened, it works well and they do love the composers)

Room Next Door – Alberto Iglesias

The Brutalist – Daniel Blumberg

Wild Robot – Kris Bowers

Gladiator 2 – Harry Gregson-Williams

Life of Chuck – Newton Brothers

Sing Sing – Bryce Dessner

Joker 2 – Hildur Guonadóttir

Piano Lesson – Alexandre Desplat

Lee – Alexandre Desplat

Wicked – John Powell

Inside Out 2 – Andrea Datzman (nice update on the themes by Giacchino)

Horizon 1 – John Debney (classy and very very good)

If – Michael Giacchino (a powerful whistful theme to remember)

 

Do I miss anything?

Wild Robt might have a chance

Sure! They love animated scores and TWR is gaining a lot of traction for animated movie nom. It could also get an Original song nom. I am listening to it right now. While there's not a strong memorable theme, it's a vibrant orchestral score.

I would say the finalists will be: an animated score (TWR or Inside Out2 or Moana 2) + an epic score (Dune 2 or Gladiator 2) + two best picture contenders (Conclave or Room Next Door or Brutalist or Anora) + a score from a a top composer with multiple nods (Blitz from Zimmer, or Here from Silvestri, or Piano Lesson by Desplat).

 

Particularly, right now I really liked Dune 2, Horizon and If, but only the former has a chance to get a nom.
