Oscars 2023: Final Predictions In Every Category
6. Best Original Score
NOMINEES:
All Quiet on the Western Front
Babylon
The Banshees of Inisherin
Everything Everywhere All at Once
The Fabelmans
What Should Win:
All Quiet on the Western Front
Volker Bertelmann's superb score accentuates the technical mastery and blistering emotion of this film, and while perhaps not the most strictly adventurous of the nominated scores, is memorable and impactful in its own way.
What Will Win:
All Quiet on the Western Front
There are some interesting narratives in this category - voters loving John Williams (The Fabelmans) and Carter Burwell (The Banshees of Inisherin) being long overdue a win - but with Bertelmann prevailing at the BAFTAs, that's most likely where the Oscar will also end up.
Don't be shocked if Babylon steals it away or Everything Everywhere All at Once takes it if voters want to throw all their love at one film, but All Quiet on the Western Front is the consensus favourite.
