As much as Thomas Newman really deserves a win on his 15th nomination here for his sublime 1917 score, and it's not impossible, Hildur Guðnadóttir has been picking up wins left and right for her work on Joker, most notably a Golden Globe and a BAFTA.

Nothing else is likely to make a dent besides these two, and if Newman can't find a way to break through, this will surely be one of Joker's two Oscar wins.
