After the Academy’s announcement in late January, there were no real surprises found in the final five nominees for Best Original Score. And, as expected, Ludwig Göransson (Sinners) has continued to sweep in February with wins at the BAFTAs and with the Society of Composers & Lyricists to add to his earlier victories at the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards, and the Hollywood Music in Media Awards.
