Daniel Blumberg won the 2024 Original Score Oscar for THE BRUTALIST, only his second feature film score (his first film, 2020's The World to Come, was directed by Brutalist co-writer Mona Fastvold). Original Song went to "El Mal" from EMILIA PEREZ, for the songwriting team of Clement Ducol and Camille, with lyric co-written by the film's director, Jacques Audiard (who didn't get a chance to speak as Camille kept singing).
The In Memoriam montage featured Jan A.P. Kaczmarek and Quincy Jones, and Jones - who was the receipient of an ultimately posthumous Honorary Award - recieved a musical tribute featuring a performance of "Ease on Down the Road" from The Wiz (Jones did not write the song, but he was nominated for his score adaptation for the film). Another Honorary Award was given to 007 producers (and siblings) Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, and the show included a song-and-dance tribute which includes "James Bond Theme," "Live and Let Die," "Diamonds Are Forever" (I was starting to worry they wouldn't include any John Barry melodies) and "Skyfall."
The latest release from La-La Land is an expanded, two-disc edition of John Williams' first Oscar-nominated original score, THE REIVERS, the 1969 film version of the William Faulkner novel, directed by Mark Rydell (Williams replaced Rydell's nominated The Fox composer Lalo Schifrin, and would go on to score The Cowboys, Cinderella Liberty and The River for the director). The set features the full score, the original LP sequencing, and the concert suite Williams adapted from his score (narrated by the film's narrator, Burgess Meredith), plus extras.

DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
THE ARC OF OBLIVION - Colin Cheney
"Documentarian Kristen Johnson ('Cameraperson,' 'Dick Johnson is Dead'), whose own work has similar fascinations, appears in the film along with her brother Kirk Johnson, a paleontologist and fossil collector who tells the filmmaker that he wants to be buried in the Mississippi River because spots like that are where fossils are most likely to be formed, and he wants to be remembered somehow, even if it’s only by the land itself. We also meet potter Yasmin Glinton Poitier, who lost her childhood house in a hurricane, and limestone magnate and Christian David Hoch, who does a quality check on the concrete being used in the ark’s foundation, then does a little presentation about limestone and its use in the so-called magic lantern, which is where the phrase 'in the limelight' comes from; and married photographers Erin and Brian Palmer, who shoot cemeteries where the remains of Black Americans are interred. The score is by the director’s brother Colin Cheney, who mixed the family’s audio and video with recordings of sounds that he made from interacting with objects his father stored in the family’s barn."
Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD - Laura Karpman
"Director Julius Onah seems to be inspired by the same paranoid conspiracy thrillers of the 1970s that the Russos famously shouted out a decade ago, though his efforts feel more earnest in their stylistic adulation. Kramer Morgenthau's cinematography and Laura Karpman's unsettling score both go a long way to selling the throwback intent, separating the film from some of the more fantastical chapters in recent MCU memory. It would require more spoiling than we would like to outline all the ways this film rhymes with 'The Falcon and The Winter Soldier' but suffice to say, some engagement farmers on X are going to have their hands full doing shot for shot comparisons and gif-set echolocation once the film reaches 4K VOD."
Dominic Griffin, Looper
"You’d think the wrongful imprisonment of Bradley would spark some internal conflict within Wilson about his continual support of an anti-Black system. But it’s quite the opposite. He works to uphold the government by arguing in favor of a supposed implicit good within Ross, whose estrangement from his daughter Betty (Liv Tyler) following his hunting of the Hulk inspires the authoritarian politician to reach for peace. Ross and Wilson’s shared hope for harmony is interrupted by Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson, reprising his 'The Incredible Hulk' role), a scientist with an axe to grind against Ross. Sterns isn’t much of a villain. You could pretty much replace him with a fern, and it wouldn’t drastically change much; he lacks viciousness, depth, and a personality. His nonplussed presence, given little added weight by the prickly score, causes an already inert film to drag. Seriously, no MCU movie has felt as long as 'Brave New World.' Half the story is Wilson and Torres, with the aid of Ross’ chief of security, an Israeli former Black Widow named Ruth Bat-Seraph (Shira Haas), going through the motions of an investigation that quickly loses steam and offers few laughs."
Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
THE KITCHEN - Labrinth
"The film’s bigger picture is never less than believable: Its CGI-assisted impression of a London contorted with luxury developments while the unhoused merely rot into the ground, taunted by surveillance drones, hits home. Tavares, an acclaimed shorts director whose architecture background is felt both visually and philosophically here, and Kaluuya steer proceedings with a seductive kineticism that masks a blunter, uglier punch. Everything on 'The Kitchen''s surface, from Wyatt Garfield’s athletic, coruscating lensing to Labrinth’s glassy, R&B-inflected score, is designed to make the future feel tangibly immediate, like it’s hurtling glossily towards us. Everything underneath urges us to resist."
Guy Lodge, Variety
SALAAR: PART 1 – CEASEFIRE - Ravi Basrur
"'Would you like to know his story?' the narrator says about half-way through the movie. 'His' obviously means Deva, but it could it just as easily mean Neel, who plays up every on-screen movement as if it were a major dramatic event. Neel tends to over-score action with slow-motion a reverb-heavy score and matching sound effects. He also favors Zack Snyder-y speed-ramping in his fight scenes, which alternately winds up and slows down set pieces so that they’re more about poses than choreography."
Simon Abrams, RogerEbert.com
YOU, ME & HER - Jean Carlos Enriquez
"The film then takes a real nosedive when the couple return to their Los Angeles home. After not texting Mags for days, Angela reaches out saying she’s stopping in LA on her way to Thailand. The final act is one last slapdash farce that spends more time with Mags and Ash talking about their threesome fantasy, trying to get their equally bored married couple trivia night friends to go home, and one poorly staged Viagra joke, than it does in exploring what any of these events actually mean to the couple on an emotional level. On top of the narrative vapidity, the sequence is filled with stale jokes and a score that is so broad and obvious, it’s as if Dagerman knows the jokes aren’t very good but thinks maybe the music will help them land."
