Golden Globe Musings: Best Original Score

Golden Globe nominations for this year will be announced shortly, so here’s a survey of the contenders and the most likely predictions at this time. Weigh in with your thoughts, and let me know if I’ve left off anything important. A reminder that the Globes are wildly unpredictable and that, especially this year, it’s hard to know which films and performances will end up being honored.

Last year's nominees:
Joker
Little Women
Marriage Story
Motherless Brooklyn
1917

I don’t know if Nomadland is going to be eligible here, but if it is, it won’t have any problem being nominated. Tenet is a good bet here too, and while Soul is a likely Oscar nominee, animated films rarely get honored here. Strong possibilities include News of the World, Mank, The Trial of the Chicago 7, Minari, Da 5 Bloods, and One Night in Miami.

Current predictions:
Mank
Minari
News of the World
Tenet
The Trial of the Chicago 7
