While “Soul” has won most of the Best Original Score precursor awards for its mix of jazz and new age, the Oscar race isn’t necessarily all sewn up. It is an eclectic group of contenders in this category, with double nominees, a first-timer and two veteran composers. The five films to earn a score nomination this year are “Da 5 Bloods,” “Mank,” “Minari,” “News of the World” and “Soul.” All are featured heavily in their respective films, and they each have a plausible path to victory considering the quality of the scores, the narratives of the individual composers and the overall respect for the films themselves.
So who will win this year’s Oscar for Best Original Score? Let’s examine each of the nominees.
