Noah Kahan getting a nomination for Hunger Games makes total sense to me, his voice fits sad movie scenes so well. I also want to mention how happy I am seeing Hans Zimmer back in the Sci-Fi category for Dune Part Three, that man just keeps winning every year it feels like. The TV score list is strong too, Bear McCreary doing Rings of Power again shows he understands that world completely. I am a bit surprised Pluribus got a nomination for score since I thought it was a smaller show, but good for Dave Porter. Overall this list feels balanced between big studio stuff and smaller independent work, which is rare for an awards show. I hope more people start paying attention to composers instead of just the songs, because scoring a whole movie is much harder work in my honest opinion.

Taylor Swift getting nominated for Toy Story 5 is not surprising at all, she basically gets nominated for everything now.

Honestly the video game music categories are becoming more interesting than the movie ones. Wuthering Waves getting two nominations shows how much effort gacha games put into their soundtracks these days, way more than some low budget films even bother with.

James Newton Howard scoring Hunger Games again feels right, he has been part of that franchise since the start and knows exactly how to build tension without making it too dramatic. Really happy for him honestly.
