The point for Disney and Pixar’s Soul appears like a lock for an original score Oscars Nomination after Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Jon Batiste picked up the prize at both the Golden Globes and Sunday’s Criti9cs Choice Awards. The category for the original song is a little less clear with ‘lo Si (Seen)’ from The Life Ahead (La Vita Davanti a Se) earning a Globe for Diane Warren, Laura Pausini, and Niccolo Agliardi, while ‘Speak Now’ from One Night in Miami…(credited to Sam Ashworth and Leslie Odom Jr.) won the Critics Choice Award in the same category.
But it seems that the audience has to wait until Monday to find out who the Jonases announce in both the music categories, while also looking out for possible music-adjacent acting nods for Odom as Sam Cooke in One Night, Globe winner Andra Day as Billie Holiday in The United States vs. Billie Holiday, and Viola Davis in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
