Because it has “live music” Academy members should vote for “Star is Born” here. That being said, if they really don’t like the movie (which is possible based on some snubs) “First Man” or “Bohemian Rhapsody” (which just, um, sounds good?) could take it. [Updated Feb. 12]
Predictions
1. “A Star Is Born” – Tom Ozanich, Dean Zupancic, Jason Ruder and Steve A. Morrow
