Films that received nominations for their scores included Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, scored by Alexandre Desplat; Michael Abels‘ score for Nope; Michael Giacchino‘s score for The Batman, John Powell‘s score for Don’t Worry Darling; and Rob Simonsen‘s score for The Whale. Song nominees include Taylor Swift, Diane Warren, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, and Desplat, who also wrote songs for Pinocchio.
