The Radiohead mastermind has a strong competition this year: Hans Zimmer nominated for Dune, Nicholas Britell recognized for Don’t Look Up, Germaine Franco for Encanto, and Alberto Iglesias for Parallel Mothers.
On the pop spectrum, it’s worth noticing that Beyoncé and Billie Eilish received their first Oscar nominations. Both singers are up for Best Original Song. Beyoncé got noticed by the Academy for the track ‘Be Alive’, featured in King Richard. Eilish got a nod for her ‘No Time to Die’, which you heard in the latest James Bond movie.
Last year, Best Original Score trophy went to Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste for the renowned animated Pixar film Soul.
Interestingly, despite recent incredible hype around Spider-Man: No Way Home, it doesn’t appear among the Best Picture nominees. Yet, the movie was nominated for Best Visual Effects.
