Also shortlisted are LCD Soundsystem for their White Noise track ‘New Body Rhumba’. Mitski and David Byrne are nominated for their Son Lux collaboration ‘This Is a Life’, which featured on the soundtrack for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Giveon, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Jazmine Sullivan and more also made the list.
Among those nominated in the Original Score category are Ludwig Göransson (for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), John Williams (for The Fabelmans), Alexandre Desplat (for Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio), Nicholas Britell (for She Said) and Hildur Guðnadóttir (for Women Talking).
Other shortlists unveiled in today’s announcement included Sound, Documentary Feature Film and Short Film categories (both animated and live action). Notably, despite both Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well’ short film and Kendrick Lamar‘s video for ‘We Cry Together’ being eligible for consideration in the Best Live Action Short Film category, neither made the shortlist.

This year’s Academy Awards took place back in March. Among the winners in the music categories were Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell – who took home Best Original Song for Bond track ‘No Time to Die’ – and Hans Zimmer – for his Dune score.
