Best Original Song – Motion Picture
Pick: “Into the Unknown,” Frozen 2
Out of all the nominees for Best Original Song, some are definitely better than others, however “Into the Unknown” from the Frozen sequel is the favorite going into the prestigious awards event. The very talented Idina Menzel delivers a powerful and compelling song that could light the fire on even the coldest of cold hearts. It easily ranks high on the classic Disney song list, and some have also said its one of the best songs of 2019, making it a fitting choice to win the award at the 77th annual Golden Globes.
Best Original Score – Motion Picture
Pick: Hildur Guðnadóttir, Joker
There are so many excellent original scores that came out this year, it’s surprising that the Golden Globes were able to whittle down their list of the best of the best composers. All the films chosen are worthy of taking home the award, but none more so then the score featured in Todd Phillip’s Joker film. Hildur Guðnadóttir somehow finds humanity in the dark, gritty picture and enhances his psychotic odyssey to the point of perfection.
With so much chaos and insanity featured throughout the critically acclaimed film, someone needed to transform the darkness into some sensitive musicality. Gudnadottir developed the character’s theme before shooting (which is rare), and Phillips even played it during a crucial scene. This ordeal apparently changed the whole film. That’s right, her score became a game-changer both on and off-screen, making Joker’s score the front-runner for the Globe this year.
