Why thank you. I wish I could take credit. It's pretty much everyone's lineup. The Globes picked Daniel Pemberton for Motherless Brooklyn over The Last Skywalker, but it's hard to imagine a lineup without John Williams. He's managed nominations for The Last Jedi and The Force Awakens so why bet against him again?rolotomasi99 wrote
Your line-up looks pretty solid.
I'd agree with you if I hadn't seen the films. I don't think there's anything memorable about either score and I think both composers are fantastic. Marco Beltrami getting a nomination for 3:10 to Yuma was one of my happiest surprises of its year.rolotomasi99 wrote
I would say do not count out Michael Giacchino (Jojo Rabbit) and Marco Beltrami with Buck Sanders (Ford v Ferrari) yet.
Since responding, I've revisited both of the scores and I agree with you especially on Michael Giacchino. I've had some doubts about Randy Newman's candidacy. His music for Marriage Story is beautiful but it doesn't quite fit the film. I found myself admiring it from afar.
That's a good one.rolotomasi99 wrote
If we wanted to predict an out-of-nowhere nomination, perhaps Jaeil Jung (Parasite) could pop up. I know the movie used some classical pieces, but the Variety article did not mention it was disqualified.
Terrence Blanchard for Harriet as well. I haven't seen the film but he had his breakthrough last yea for BlacKkKlansman.
