​This should be a lock. If Jonny Greenwood (he of Radiohead fame) doesn't write the strange, intense, keeping you on the edge of your seat score, I don't think it would be a front-runner for Best Picture. Encanto had great music, but it was a weird juxtaposition of classic Lin-Manuel Miranda songs and Germaine Franco's very Disney score.
