Who Should Win: Soul
Soul is easily the most playful, dynamic, and straight-up memorable musical score nominated this year, expertly melding Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' electronic stylings with the jazzy brilliance of Jon Batiste.
It's not exactly a banner year for the category, but Soul smokes everything running against it.
Who Will Win: Soul
Reznor, Ross, and Batiste have already scooped up a few notable precursors, so it's incredibly unlikely anything else manages to pip them to the post - not even Reznor and Ross' own competing score for Mank.
