The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently announced its shortlists in consideration for the 94th Oscars in ten categories, with fifteen scores advancing in the Best Original Score category. Of note, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe‘s score for Nia DaCosta’s Candyman made the cut, which means the horror movie’s score *could* land itself an Oscar nomination.
Horror at the Oscars… you sure do love to see it!
As the official Oscars website notes, “Fifteen scores will advance in the Original Score category for the 94th Academy Awards. One hundred thirty-six scores were eligible in the category. Members of the Music Branch vote to determine the shortlist and the nominees.” In other words, these fifteen scores will soon be cut down even further, arriving at the final nominees.
The scores in the running, listed in alphabetical order by film title, are:
- “Being the Ricardos”

- “Dune”
