Oscars 2022: Final Predictions For Nominations In Every Category
6. Best Original Score
NOMINEES:
Don't Look Up
Dune
The French Dispatch
The Power of the Dog
Spencer
This is another case where the fifth slot is a tricky one: Johnny Greenwood's Spencer score could suffer from the generally lukewarm awards performance of the film itself, such that Encanto, King Richard, Nightmare Alley, or No Time to Die could squeeze in instead.
If Spencer does make it in, though, composer Greenwood will effectively be competing against himself, as he also composed the score for The Power of the Dog.
Similarly, if No Time to Die's score makes the cut, Hanz Zimmer will be up against his own work on Dune.
