I decided to just put these out there because I’ve been curious about this one for a while and am anxious to see what other people are speculating. Here are my predictions, as of now:
- Nomadland (Ludovico Einaudi)
- Soul (Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross)
- Tenet (Ludwig Göransson)
- Da 5 Bloods (Terence Blanchard)
- Hillbilly Elegy (Hans Zimmer & David Fleming)
Other possibilities:
- Mank (Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross)
- One Night in Miami (Terence Blanchard)
- Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (Branford Marsalis)
- The Trial of the Chicago 7 (Daniel Pemberton)
October 23, 2020 at 1:24 pm #1203798936Mank is a lock in Score imo.

October 23, 2020 at 1:25 pm #1203798939Nomadland (Ludovico Einaudi)
Isn’t his score ineligible for some reason?
ReplyCopy URLOctober 23, 2020 at 1:31 pm #1203798958I think Ludwig Goransson may have a good chance at a double nom as well. He composed ‘Tenet’, and he is a Co-composer for ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’. I also agree on ‘Mank’ getting in for score. I heard snippets from a site and it definitely seems like a lock.

Yes. Both of Einaudi’s scores this year are ineligible. (Sorry dergoldrausch).
Reznor & Ross will win. It’s probably the only thing I’m sure of this year. (Well, and Soul for animated film).
ReplyCopy URLOctober 23, 2020 at 2:15 pm #1203799080That’s interesting you guys mention that, Luca & Hayden. I just read up on it and didn’t hear about it prior to now; then again, I haven’t been so up-to-speed at this stage in the game.
Also wolfali, I marked down Mank as a possibility because I wasn’t sure if a dual nominee for composer has ever happened before, but then I remembered Alexandre Desplat in 2015 for “Grand Budapest” and “Imitation Game”, so I’ll make some edits. Just curious, has that ever happened any other year for a composer?
ReplyCopy URLOctober 23, 2020 at 2:20 pm #1203799097All that being said, here is my NEW lineup:
- Soul (Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross)
- Mank (Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross)
- Tenet (Ludwig Göransson)
- Da 5 Bloods (Terence Blanchard)
- Hillbilly Elegy (Hans Zimmer & David Fleming)

Yup. Since smushing score into one category (which, it always should have been)
John Williams (2001, 2005, 2011)
So. One guy three times.
During the period when there were two categories— Randy Newman, Danny Elfman, James Horner, Williams again.
Before that, Thomas Newman, Williams again… and again… probably a few more.
This year is scant though. Reznor & Ross will get two noms and win for one of them. They’re currently one for one. If that means anything.

Alfred Newman, Max Steiner, Henry Mancini, Marvin Hamlisch, Bernard Hermann, John Williams, Thomas Newman, and James Horner have all been double nominated before. Alfred Newman and John Williams have been doubled nominated three times actually.

October 23, 2020 at 4:02 pm #1203799299Are we sure Einaudi’s score for The Father is ineligible?
Yeah, same issue on both.
ReplyCopy URLOctober 23, 2020 at 4:18 pm #1203799316Are we sure Einaudi’s score for The Father is ineligible?
Yep. He actually didn’t compose an original score for Nomadland. The film just have some of his past works.
