The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences has unveiled lists of the eligible
contenders in the Oscar races for Best Original
Song and Best Original Score. In the former
category I’d have to say “Everything Is Awesome”
from The LEGO Movie is an early favorite, and I
would love to see Tegan & Sara and The Lonely
Island perform on the Oscar stage. Other
standouts include two songs from Boyhood , both
co-written by Ethan Hawke, and the beautiful “For
the Dancing and the Dreaming” from How to
Train Your Dragon 2 . On the Best Original Score
side of things, it’s kind of an embarrassment of
riches. How to choose between John Powell ’s
Dragon 2 score, Alexandre Desplat ’s incredible
work on The Imitation Game, Hans Zimmer ’s
astounding Interstellar score, James Newton
Howard‘s propulsive work on Nightcrawler , etc.?
Check out the full lists of eligible contenders in
both categories (79 songs and 114 scores) after
the jump,
Nominations for the 87th Academy Awards will
be announced on January 15, 2015.
The Best Original Score race really looks to be a
crowded one this year. Desplat alone has five
scores up for eligibility ( Godzilla , The Grand
Budapest Hotel , The Imitation Game, The
Monuments Men, Unbroken ), previous winners
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are back in the
race with Gone Girl, and Michael Giacchino ’s
work on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was
pretty unforgettable. Thomas Newman is an
Academy favorite so his score for The Judge is
one to keep an eye on, and there’s also plenty of
praise for Marco Beltrami ’s The Homesman .
What are some of your favorite scores of the
year?
