2024 was a year full of music at the movies, from the biopics of Kneecap and Better Man to full-blown musicals like Emilia Pérez and Wicked. If anything, last year’s films proved just how integral music can be to the success of a film. That’s especially true with the last few winners in this category, be it Ludwig Göransson‘s tremendous score for Oppenheimer last year or the grand worldbuilding done simply through the score with Hans Zimmer‘s Dune score.
