Best Score
Bridge of Spies
Carol
The Hateful Eight
Sicario
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Bridge of Spies, Carol, and Sicario each had scores that, while not distracting from their film, certainly didn't add much. Every Star Wars film has been driven by its John Williams score, and while The Force Awakens was no exception, very little new was added to the saga by way of music. Every Star Wars film has added a new theme (ANH - THE theme, ESB - Imperial March, ROTJ - Yub Nub (and others), TPM - Duel of the Fates, AOTC - Across the Stars, ROTS - Battle of the Heroes), but there wasn't really a recognizable tune to any of the new music in the franchise's return to glory. That leaves Ennio Morricone's masterful work on The Hateful Eight. He has an Oscar, but it was honorary. He didn't even get nominated for any of his work on the "spaghetti westerns". This year, the award is his.
