Other contenders in the Best Song category include Bruce Springsteen for “Addicted To Romance” from She Came To Me, Lenny Kravitz for “Road To Freedom” from Rustin, and the team behind Jack Black’s viral Super Mario Bros. hit “Peaches” — Black, Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic, Eric Osmond, and John Spiker.
Some big names will also clash in the Best Original Score, Motion Picture category: Ludwig Göransson for Oppenheimer, Jerskin Fendrix for Poor Things, the late Robbie Robertson for Killers Of The Flower Moon, Mica Levi for The Zone Of Interest, Daniel Pemberton for Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, and Joe Hisaishi for The Boy And The Heron.
