Oscars 2021: Final Predictions For Nominations In Every Category

5. Best Original Song

Promising Young Woman Ma Rainey's Black Bottom Sound of Metal
Netflix

NOMINEES:

"Fight for You" (Judas and the Black Messiah)

"Hear My Voice" (The Trial of the Chicago 7)

"Io Si" (The Life Ahead)

"Speak Now" (One Night in Miami)

"Turntables" (All In: The Fight for Democracy)

The only real guarantee here is that 11-time Oscar nominee Diane Warren will receive her 12th nod for The Life Ahead's "Io Si," and among a typically flat slate of 15 pop-centric nominees, it's the righteous dramas which are most likely to register with voters.

It would be a giggle if Borat Subsequent Moviefilm's "Wuhan Flu" or Eurovision Song Contest's "Husavik" made the cut, though, and don't count out Mulan's "Loyal Brave True" entirely, either.
