Academy Award Nominations 2019
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) have announced the nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards, honoring the best in film in 2019.
In the Best Original Score category, the nominees are:
- ALEXANDRE DESPLAT for Little Women
- HILDUR GUÐNADÓTTIR for Joker
- RANDY NEWMAN for Marriage Story
- THOMAS NEWMAN for 1917
- JOHN WILLIAMS for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
This is the first Oscar nomination for Guðnadóttir, and the eleventh nomination for Desplat, who previously won for The Grand Budapest Hotel in 2014, and for The Shape of Water in 2017. The Newman cousins now have 22 nominations between them – nine for Randy, and thirteen for Thomas – but neither have previously had a Best Score win.
Incredibly, this is the 52nd Oscar nomination for John Williams, which breaks his own record for the most nominated living person, and maintains his position as the second most nominated person of all time after Walt Disney (who had 59). He previously won Academy Awards for Fiddler on the Roof in 1971, Jaws in 1975, Star Wars in 1977, E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial in 1982, and Schindler’s List in 1993.
In the Best Original Song category, the nominees are:
- KRISTEN ANDERSON-LOPEZ and ROBERT LOPEZ for “Into the Unknown” from Frozen II
- JOSHUAH BRIAN CAMPBELL and CYNTHIA ERIVO for “Stand Up” from Harriet
- ELTON JOHN and BERNIE TAUPIN for “I’m Gonna Love Me Again” from Rocketman
- RANDY NEWMAN for “I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away” from Toy Story 4
- DIANE WARREN for “I’m Standing With You” from Breakthrough
The winners of the 92nd Academy Awards will be announced on February 9, 2020.
