Oscars 2022: Final Predictions In Every Category

6. Best Original Score

NOMINEES:

Don't Look Up

Dune

Encanto

Parallel Mothers

The Power of the Dog

What Should Win: Dune

This is one of the weakest Best Original Score categories in years, which certainly helps Hans Zimmer's awe-inspiring score for Dune stand out.

With its sonic diversity and the fact it sounds nothing like the other nominees, it's the one of the five that mainstream audiences and Oscar voters alike will actually remember years from now.

What Will Win: Dune

Zimmer somehow has only a single Oscar to his name off a dozen nominations, though seems primed to scoop number two this year and it's incredibly difficult to picture anyone else beating him to the podium.
