Academy reveals 141 films vying for best score at Oscars

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is grooving to the tune of 141 films eligible for the best original score Oscar.

Announced Monday, the roster of films and composers in the running for the annual prize includes many of this award season’s usual suspects, like Phantom Thread’s Jonny Greenwood, Dunkirk’s Hans Zimmer, The Shape of Water’s Alexandre Desplat, and Carter Burwell, who is represented by three separate films (Goodbye Christopher Robin, Wonderstruck, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri).

Also advancing are critically lauded compositions by Daniel Lopatin (Good Time), John Williams (The Post and Star Wars: The Last Jedi), and Benjamin Wallfisch, who crafted the Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack alongside Zimmer.

A reminder with all the eligible composers will be sent to voters in the academy’s music branch when nomination ballots go out Jan. 5. Five contenders will advance after the initial round of voting.

Oscar nominations will be announced Jan. 23. Check out the academy’s alphabetical list of films eligible for best original score below.
