STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
John Williams
With the help of new and unexpected allies, the Resistance must find the will and the way to defeat the First Order in a final battle for freedom.
UNLIKELY
Every time a “Star Wars” film comes out and John Williams does the score, he gets nominated. The man now has 52 Academy Award nominations. Needless to say, he will not be winning his sixth Oscar this year, as the scores for “1917” and “Joker” are the front-runners. In fact, “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” is unlikely to win any of the categories it is nominated in. Best Visual Effects is led by “1917” and “Avengers: Endgame” while Best Sound Editing is led by “1917” and “Ford v Ferrari.”
