2024 Oscars Predictions:
Best Original Score
Melinda Sue Gordon
Weekly Commentary (Updated Dec. 21, 2023): After Sony Pictures brought the house down with the live orchestra concert for “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” (you can watch clips above) at the Academy Museum, the movie is picking up steam.
There was lots of diversity of genres in the Oscar shortlist, which included the animation medium, getting a huge boost with “Spider-Verse” landing in song, sound, visual effects, and score, which also had GKids’ “The Boy and the Heron” composer Joe Hisaishi. With Sony putting a concerted effort to get the fourth animated best picture nominee, which would also be the first non-Disney flick, it is one step closer to that ultimate goal.
In the music categories are compositions from Ludwig Göransson (“Oppenheimer“) and the late Robbie Robertson (“Killers of the Flower Moon”) were among the named. We also have a fair amount of veterans including Thomas Newman (“Elemental”) and John Williams (“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”).
Notable is the diversity among the composers that made the shortlist including Black composers Jon Batiste (“American Symphony”) and Kris Bowers (“The Color Purple”), female legendary musician Laura Karpman (“American Fiction”) and nonbinary and Oscar nominee for “Jackie,” Mica Levi (“The Zone of Interest”). Mark Orton being named for “The Holdovers” was also a surprise, considering many believed it didn’t qualify to be submitted. A fine choice by the branch.
The were 149 music scores eligible for the Academy Award.
