We have a new leader in the Original Score race: Alexandre Desplat’s The Shape of Water. After leading all summer, Hans Zimmer’s Dunkirk score falls to #2. After that it’s nearly identical to last month’s rankings with Detroit and mother! falling off the list and no debuts.
This month we take our first stab at Original Song predictions. Some searching of FYC and awards pages can give us what a studio is submitting but the official list of eligible songs won’t be out for about six weeks (last year it was December 13) but with full-fledged musical like The Greatest Showman, Beauty and the Beast and Coco we have an idea of at least some of what might pop up on Oscar nomination morning. Call Me By Your Name has two songs from Sufjan Stevens and we’re high on “Mystery of Love” being the Academy’s choice even though “Visions of Gideon” comes at a crucial point in the film. Diane Warren and Cher aim for gold once again but this time on a more serious note. Their Golden Globe-winning collaboration from Cher’s film Burlesque failed to get an Oscar nod and Warren’s song with Lady Gaga (“Til It Happens to You”) lost to Sam Smith. This time it’s “Prayers for this World” from the documentary Cries From Syria. Of course, there can always be an “Alone Yet Not Alone” that throws everyone for a loop so you never know.
These are the official 2018 Oscar Predictions in Original Score and Original Song for November from the Gold Rush Gang. Keep an eye on all of the Gold Rush Gang’s 2018 Oscar predictions updated LIVE throughout the month.
