I am bad at anything below the line, but regarding Original Dramatic Score, I will put my two cents in:

– Westworld is a lock, I would say. They love Ramin, who outdid himself once again in the third season. He has so many episodes he could choose from. Succession (Nicholas Britell) is probably a lock too, but he did miss last year.

– The Crown was nominated for its first season, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it miss here. Did anyone really love this new score?

– The Handmaid’s Tale finally broke through last year for Adam Taylor, who I think will retain his spot. He was nominated at the first-ever Society of Composers & Lyricists Awards, and his season 3 score is perhaps his best work yet. “The Ruins of a Memorial” and “Refugee” really stick out.

Beyond that, I have no idea who to mention. I guess The Morning Show could be in the hunt (though I hated that score), as well as last year’s nominee This Is Us.

Considering Succession won Title Theme Music last year and got nominated at Society of Composers & Lyricists Awards I’d arguably say it’s a lock.

FYC Emmys: "The Crown" in all categories, "I May Destroy You" in all categories, "It's a Sin" in all categories, "Small Axe" in all categories, Billie Piper ("I Hate Suzie"), Yvonne Strahovski ("Stateless") and Ruth Wilson ("His Dark Materials")

I wonder if ABC will submit mixedish for the title song. It uses Mariah Carey’s “In The Mix”

The Mandalorian….Ludwig Göransson, composer
His music for the show is distinctive, perfect for the theme and setting.

I’m sure they did. It’s a high profile title song. Hope it scores a nomination! If Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was able to get in last year for a new Sung title song for its final season, I don’t see why this can’t.

Most of the competition in this category will be instrumental works.

There’s a great interview with Britell on the GD Youtube channel.

Reznor and Ross are 100% winning for Watchmen.
Both Succession and Westworld will get nominated, I hope Westworld wins.
