Oscars: 112 scores eligible for Original Score, including ‘Star Wars,’ ‘Hunger Games’ and ‘Jurassic World’

Academy voters are going to have to listen to a lot of music in the next few weeks. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced the full list of scores that are eligible for the Best Original Score Oscar.

Since some composers work well enough to complete multiple movies in a year, many have two or more scores eligible. For example, Alexandre Desplat, who won earlier this year for The Grand Budapest Hotel, is eligible for Suffragette and The Danish Girl.

James Newton Howard has three eligible scores: Concussion, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 and Pawn Sacrifice. Thomas Newman has a whopping four scores eligible: Spectre, The Second Grand Budapest Hotel, Bridge of Spies and He Named Me Mallala.

Danny Elfman, another blockbuster composer, has three eligible: The End of the Tour, Fifty Shades of Grey and Goosebumps.

Michael Giacchino, who won an Oscar for his Up score, can be nominated for Inside Out, Jurassic World and Tomorrowland.

John Williams’ score for Star Wars: The Force Awakens is eligible. Williams has won five Oscars, including one for the original Star Wars. His scores for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were also nominated.

The Academy’s Music Branch will be responsible for whittling down the list of eligible scores to just five nominees. The nominees are announced on Jan. 14 and the 88th Oscars are on Feb. 28.

There are also 74 songs eligible for the Best Original Song Oscar.
