The Oscars are the awards given by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, as voted for by its many members, all artisans in the industry.<\/p> <p>It\u2019s 90 years since the very first Oscars for music were given out at the 7th Academy Awards on 27 February 1935. The Oscar for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/tv-and-film-music\/all-the-oscar-winners-and-nominees-for-best-original-score\">Best Original Score<\/a> has gone through a few changes and retitles over the years, with awards given in the past for Best Original Adapted Score, Best Original Musical or Comedy Score and Best Original Dramatic Score. These days there is just one scoring prize, and one for Best Original Song.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who has been nominated for Best Original Score at the Oscars?<\/strong><\/h3> <p>German composer Volker Bertelmann secures a third Oscar nomination, this time for his intense and gripping music for\u00a0<em>Conclave<\/em>. Bertelmann (aka Hauschka) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/tv-and-film-music\/volker-bertelmann-wins-the-oscar-for-best-original-score\">took home the Oscar for\u00a0<em>All Quiet on the Western Front<\/em>\u00a0two years ago<\/a>. Might he do it again?<\/p> <p>He faces tough competition from British composer Daniel Blumberg, who has crafted a multifaceted score for\u00a0<em>The Brutalist \u2013\u00a0<\/em>one of the film\u2019s ten nominations. It\u2019s a first nomination for Blumberg, but not for American composer Kris Bowers, who is nominated for\u00a0<em>The Wild Robot.<\/em>\u00a0Bowers is already an Oscar winner, just not for music. He won the award for Best Documentary Short Film last year as co-director of\u00a0<em>The Last Repair Shop<\/em>, and was nominated in the same category for 2020\u2019s\u00a0<em>A Concerto is a Conversation<\/em>.<\/p> <p>Joining them, and continuing the mirror image (so far) of the BAFTA nominations, are Cl\u00e9ment Ducol and Camille for their work on the musical drama\u00a0<em>Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/em>. That\u2019s where the BAFTA similarities end, though, as there is sadly no nomination for Robin Carolan\u2019s brilliant score for\u00a0<em>Nosferatu<\/em>, instead John Powell and Stephen Schwartz are nominated for\u00a0<em>Wicked<\/em>. Schwartz composed the original musical and worked closely with Powell, who created the score for the film. Will Powell and Schwartz fly in and make the others green with envy?
