Oscar Winner Predictions: Best Original Score

The competition: The Grand Budapest Hotel (Alexandre Desplat), The Imitation Game (Alexandre Desplat), Interstellar (Hans Zimmer), Mr. Turner (Gary Yershon), Johann Johannson (The Theory of Everything)

Previous winners: Gravity, Life of Pi, The Artist, The Social Network, Up, Slumdog Millionaire, Atonement
My winner: Announcing shortly after the Oscars!
The facts: Zimmer won for “The Lion King” and this year earns his tenth nomination. This is Desplat’s first year earning two nominations, bringing him to a total of eight overall. This is the first nomination for both Johannson, who won the Golden Globe, and Yershon.

Who should win: “Interstellar”
Who will win: I think this will be a Golden Globe repeat and Yershon will win for The Theory of Everything.
