I like the "Black Panther" score and the "Mary Poppins Returns" score as well. Haven't heard more than the samples of the others yet. As always, and maybe this year more so than ever, the Oscars are not about the best achievements but those which get the most votes within the Academy who is under pressure to deliver nominations which will generate tv audience interest. Balancing that with who likes and respects whom AND retaining a sense of respect for arthouse (which clearly needs the award attention), this year again was rather predictable. I would have chosen John Powell´s "Solo", of course. And... the most underrated score of the year: Theodore Shapiro´s "A simple favor".

My choice is Terence Blanchard's superb score for Blackkklansman but Mary Poppins Returns must be hot favourite

MARY POPPINS and BLACKKKLANSMAN are OK, I suppose, but far from my favourites of the year. The others are as empty as vapour to me. BLACK PANTHER is the most overrated film and score of the whole year. People have gone nuts over the whole 'representative' thing, but that doesn't make the film or score itself any better. People are weird. Black Panther is better than most of the movies they nominated, but I didn't think Black Panther was that good either!

Gotta agree on this: BLACK PANTHER is not more than a passable entertainment. Mid-range Marvel at best. But it captured the zeitgeist and became a political pawn the Academy was afraid to ignore.

I thought one of the best scores of the year was Desplat's Operation Finale.

Is Panther the first Marvel score nominated?

Since directors/producers have no problem dropping pre-existing music into films, I'm curious how this will affect oscar voting. Isle of Dogs used the Sauter/Finegan band recording of Prokofiev's Lt Kije. If Beale Street Could Talk used a lot of dropped in tracks, including Miles Davis' "Blue in Green." There are other examples. Bill Conti won an oscar for The Right Stuff, but very key scenes were scored with Mancini's White Dawn music and Holst's The Planets.
