While best supporting actress acting nominee Stephanie Hsu didn’t record the original song “This Is a Life” for the film “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” she proved in her performance on the Oscars stage that she is qualified to take the reins from Mitski, who sang on the soundtrack version. For a performance of the song, Hsu was joined onstage at the Academy Awards by former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and composer trio Sox Lux, who are also featured on the Oscar-nominated song.
Among an ensemble of singers, musicians and dancers dressed all in white, Byrne stood out by wearing a set of so-called hot dog fingers, as made famous in one of the more physiologically strange parts of the multiverse in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

The films in the running for the 2023 Best Original Score Oscar are “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Babylon,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” and “The Fabelmans.” Our current odds indicate that “Babylon” (69/20) will take the prize, followed in order of likelihood by “All Quiet on the Western Front” (19/5), “The Fabelmans” (4/1), “The Banshees of Inisherin” (9/2), and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (9/2).
Four of the seven individual artists included in this lineup are returning contenders, with the newcomer subset consisting of Son Lux bandmates and fellow “Everything Everywhere All at Once” nominees Rafiq Bhatia, Ian Chang, and Ryan Lott. Bhatia and Chang are two of only nine Asian composers to ever achieve academy recognition and could become the first such champions since A. R. Rahman (“Slumdog Millionaire”) in 2009.

Can you imagine being nominated in this category and hearing the very last nominee’s name, and it’s the one and only John Williams, who has received 53 Oscar nominations and won five times? Granted, it’s been almost 30 years since his name was last called on Oscar night, so maybe the other four nominees don’t have so much to worry about, but make no mistake that this is a highly competitive year.
Four of this year’s nominees line-up with Best Picture, with one very notable newcomer to the category.

The final stretch of the 2023 Oscar season has started with voters casting their ballots for the winners of the 95th annual Academy Awards. All season long, Gold Derby has been interviewing dozens of the nominees, including four contenders for Best Score. Click on each composer’s name below to watch each of these 20-minute interviews.
Volker Bertelmann, ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’
Composer Bertelmann grew up reading the 1929 novel “All Quiet on the Western Front’ when he was in school, which served as the basis for the 1930 Best Picture winner and the new 2022 Netflix adaptation. He recalls the advice that director Edward Berger gave him about how he wanted to film to sound: “I want to have a music for the stomach of Paul Bäumer, who’s the main protagonist. I want to have destruction. And I want to have a snare that is played by somebody who can’t play the snare…...

It could be a star-studded musical evening at the Academy Awards come March 12, as Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Rhianna and the Weeknd are all up for best-song Oscar nominations following today’s announcement of the shortlists in music.
Fifteen songs and 15 scores from 2022 movies were selected by the 389 voting members of Oscar’s music branch, and there were few surprises in the song category. The score category made history, however, with two women and three African-American composers on the list.
The music branch will vote again in January to select five nominees in each category.
Taylor Swift could, at long last, become an Oscar nominee, for her song “Carolina” from “Where the Crawdads Sing,” and Rhianna could score with her song “Lift Me Up” from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Gaga, already an Oscar winner for “Shallow” from 2018’s “A Star Is Born,” could score again with her “Top Gun: Maverick” anthem “Hold My Hand.

With “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (which A24 expands in IMAX theaters on Friday), a maximalist movie met its match with a maximalist score. The result was a musical explosion that enhanced the Daniels’ wild brand of multiverse action-adventure. And the scoring experience benefited Son Lux, the LA-based experimental post-rock band composed of keyboardist and vocalist Ryan Lott, guitarist Rafiq Bhatia, and drummer Ian Chang.
Directors Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert had been fans of Son Lux and sought them out precisely because of their ability to reconcile different musical elements and ideas into a cohesive whole — a microcosm of the movie. “Both of them had observations throughout this process, both in a big picture sense and also in terms of small details, that ended up being pretty foundational to the score,” Bhatia told IndieWire. “That was exceptional in allowing us to see this [movie] clearly and also how the intimate...

Daniels' (Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheiner) film "Everything Everywhere All at Once" takes place in multiple parallel universes, rotating through its wild dimensions every few minutes, and in some cases, every few seconds. This required extensive production design, lighting, and music to differentiate the worlds and keep audiences oriented, even as reality is fracturing. In a recent interview with /Film, "Everything's" composers, the New York experimental rock band Son Lux (members: Ian Chang, Ryan Lott, and Rafiq Bhatia), revealed that the film had over 100 music cues, and featured artists as diverse as André 3000, David Byrne, Mitski, and Randy Newman.
