BEST ORIGINAL SCOREAlice in Wonderland (Danny Elfman)
How to Train Your Dragon (John Powell)
Inception (Hans Zimmer)
The King's Speech (Alexandre Desplat)
The Social Network (Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross)
Other Possibilities: 127 Hours (AR Rahman), The Ghost Writer (Alexandre Desplat), The Last Airbender (James Newton Howard), Never Let Me Go (Rachel Portman), Tron: Legacy (Daft Punk)
The Social Network will probably take this award home; it won the Critics' Choice Award and the Golden Globe. Inception and The King's Speech are likely Best Picture nominees, which boosts their chances of being nominated here. I definitely think at least one of the other two (Alice in Wonderland and How to Train Your Dragon) will be nominated, but one may be replaced by AR Rahman's 127 Hours score. Anything besides the six I mentioned would be surprising.
BEST ORIGINAL SONG"I See the Light" from Tangled"If I Rise" from 127 Hours"Shine" from Waiting for Superman"We Belong Together" from Toy Story 3"You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" from Burlesque
Other Possibilities: "Bound to You" from Burlesque, "Coming Home" from Country Strong, "Sticks and Stones" from How to Train Your Dragon, "There's a Place for Us" from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Musicals like Tangled and Burlesque have better shots than the rest of making the cut by virtue of having so many original songs. This category has a unique voting system; voters rate all of the eligible songs on a scale of 6 to 10. Only songs that receive scores of 8.25 or better are allowed to receive nominations. Due to this oddball setup, upsets are not unheard of (see: frontrunner "The Wrestler" missing out in 2008).
