The Oscars Nominee list has dropped and fortunately for us, all of the films have fire soundtracks. Every nominated film this year brought straight vibes. The soundtracks are hitting so hard they could win awards by themselves. Whether you’re about an emotional score or bops that’ll live rent-free in your head, these movies delivered. All of the nominated films, actresses, and actors are top of the line.  Here are the soundtracks from the top nominated films, lets get into it:

Original Soundtrack

The Brutalist

Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist is an ambitious, sprawling tale of trauma, architecture, and the elusive American Dream, centered on Adrien Brody’s compelling portrayal of a haunted Hungarian architect. While the film reaches for epic grandeur, its complex narrative and characters sometimes buckle under their own weight. Daniel Blumberg’s score—a mix of prepared pianos, jazz chaos, and melancholic motifs—mirrors the stark beauty of brutalist design.

Wicked

John Powell and Stephen Schwartz’s Wicked score is pure orchestral enchantment—a dazzling blend of Powell’s sweeping cinematic style and Schwartz’s iconic Broadway melodies. Overflowing with magic, wonder, and thematic nods to the original musical, it’s an immersive 80-minute journey through Oz. Highlights like “Train to Emerald City” and “Defying Gravity” soar with emotional grandeur, while recurring motifs like “No One Mourns the Wicked” weave a rich musical tapestry. Whether you’re a diehard fan or a total newbie, this soundtrack delivers sheer fantasy brilliance—no prerequisites required, just hit play and be transported.

Dune: Part Two

Hans Zimmer’s Dune 2 soundtrack is a sonic odyssey—epic, experimental, and perfectly tuned to the film’s breathtaking visuals. Using primal percussion, eerie choirs, and unorthodox instrumentation like electric cellos, Zimmer masterfully captures the grand, desolate beauty of Arrakis. It’s dramatic, immersive, and at times panic-inducing, with standout tracks like “Eclipse” and “Water of Life” sounding like ominous rituals from a dystopian future. While it’s less cohesive as a standalone listen (it is a soundtrack, after all), it’s a transportive experience that brilliantly elevates one of sci-fi’s most ambitious films. Zimmer, as always, delivers otherworldly brilliance.

Emilia Pérez

Emilia Pérez‘s soundtrack is a wild ride that perfectly mirrors its genre-blending, emotional rollercoaster of a story. The music, part Umbrellas of Cherbourg, part Zoot Suit, is a stunning mix of bold numbers that explode with energy, just as the characters’ bodies drive the film’s narrative. It’s a musical that’ll get stuck in your head (that surgery song, though) and a score that knows when to hold back and when to really go for it. Think drama, dance, and daring—this soundtrack is as aggressive and tender as the film itself, and just as unforgettable.

Existing Tracks

Anora

Sean Baker’s Anora is a raw, riveting love story wrapped in a neon glow. With a soundtrack that swings from Blondie’s dreamy ‘70s charm to the melodrama of t.A.T.u. and the unexpected pop joy of Take That, it’s no wonder this Cannes Palme d’Or winner is causing such a stir. Vulnerability, love, and some truly euphoric needle drops—Anora hits all the right notes.

A Complete Unknown

Timothée Chalamet’s A Complete Unknown soundtrack is a raw, electrifying tribute to Bob Dylan’s mythology, packed with live renditions of timeless classics. Chalamet captures Dylan’s essence—nasal quirks, lyrical grit, and all—while Monica Barbaro stuns as Joan Baez. From acoustic anthems like “Blowin’ in the Wind” to the chaotic swagger of “Like a Rolling Stone,” it’s a wild karaoke-turned-time-machine that makes Dylan’s legendary songbook feel thrillingly alive and imperfectly perfect.
