AFT Awards: Best Original Score

This is the eleventh category of the 11th Annual AFT Film Awards to be announced. The AFT Awards are my own personal choices for the best in film of each year and the best in television of each season. The AFT Film Awards include the traditional Oscar categories and a number of additional specific honors. Nominees are pictured in the order I’ve ranked them.

The winner:
The Shape of Water (Alexandre Desplat) was a dark, strange fairy tale, and its music embodied that perfectly in audio form.

Other nominees:
Phantom Thread (Jonny Greenwood)
Darkest Hour (Dario Marinelli)
Dunkirk (Hans Zimmer)
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (Carter Burwell)
