I would be happier if Ready Player One or Solo: A Star Wars Story would have made it on the list, but at the same time I would have been very surprised: old fashioned, melodic symphonic scores with plenty of themes - no way the can win anything today...
I agree. Too bad Solo or RPO, The Sisters Brothers, JNH aren't on the list.

As with all of these awards, it is mostly about the movie and its standing within the award community - and a result of the PR campaigns by the studios.
I haven´t heard Shaiman´s score yet. The others are fine or even very good. But the best scores of 2019?
Hey, where's John Powell´s "Solo"?

I love Desplat, but not for this score. 'Isle of Dogs' was something I wouldn't wish an enemy to have to sit through. And the music in the film, some sort of Japanese Drums that were pounding all the way through the thing. TORTURE!

It's a sign of how far I've drifted from the awards season hoopla that the GG noms today do absolutely nothing for me (including these for Score). I used to get so excited about this stuff, but that's been extinguishing little by little each year for about the past 10 years. Now it elicits little more than a shoulder shrug from me.

I got to go to an early screening, and I have a strong feeling that Mary Poppins is going to leap to the top of a lot of people’s recent favorites on this board once the soundtrack comes out - it’s the sort if pull-out-all-the-stops orchestral fantasy music that we’ve rarely heard over the past several decades. It’s amazing to hear score and songs like this in 2018.

There have been a number of screenings of all these for the industry.
MARY POPPINS RETURNS wins hands down. Marc Shaiman went beyond expectations on an assignment that would normally doom someone to disappointing comparison. Plus integrating the old songs in wonderful subtle instrumental arrangements was genius.
But like the original MARY POPPINS it is going against dramatic scores, comparing apples to oranges, and those fantastic songs will win out.
I would rate the original higher in that the Sherman Brothers were starting from scratch and Shaiman used them as the inspiration, as well as giving some original twists of his own along the way.
Ha, didn't see this before I posted. My inclination is to just about agree, with the caveat that it had to have been harder to get something like what Shaiman did for this past all of the various corporate gatekeepers in 2018 (the Sherman Bros just had to please one guy!).

I feel the same. ({Actually, I didn't even know the nominations were announced today.)
Same. It actually caught me off guard. Even in the past couple years, I’ve at least been aware of the important dates going into awards season. But I wasn’t even thinking about it.
Just no emotional investment in the nominated films.
