Analysis: Horner (Avatar) receives his 8th nomination in the Score category and previously won for Titanic, another James Cameron blockbuster. Could history repeat itself? Up is an equal threat to win, as Michael Giacchino had two fantastic scores this year, the other for Star Trek. Will Win - Michael Giacchino, Up Should Win - Michael Giacchino, Up Could Win - James Horner, Avatar |

Analysis: If anything beats Crazy Heart's "The Weary Kind" I will officially give up on the Oscar music branch. This seems to be, along with Foreign, the most flawed category in recent Oscar history. Will Win - T-Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham, "The Weary Kind" from Crazy Heart Should Win - T-Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham, "The Weary Kind" from Crazy Heart Could Win - Randy Newman, "Down in New Orleans" from The Princess and the Frog |
