“The Batman” did not make it onto the Best Original Score shortlist for the 95th Oscars, and the fans got disheartened by the news.
The shortlists for ten categories at the 2018 Academy Awards were published by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Wednesday. The Batman by Matt Reeves made the shortlists in three categories—makeup and hairstyling, sound, and visual effects—but it was omitted from the list in the one where most people believed it should have been a viable contender. Michael Giacchino, the film’s composer, was disappointed that The Batman didn’t make the Best Music shortlist (Original Score).

Instead, 15 more scores have been included on the shortlist before an official nomination announcement. All Quiet on the Western Front, Avatar: The Way of Water, Babylon, The Banshees of Inisherin, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Devotion, Don’t Worry Darling, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Glass Onion, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, The Fabelmans, Nope, She Said, The Woman King, and Women Talking are a few of these movies.
Fans of the film are not happy about the rejection. To see what they’re saying, keep scrolling.
It was one of the most streamed musical scores of 2022 in cinema compositions because before the movie came out, audiences were already hooked on the score, and it hit various music charts.
One of the more stunning developments was the failure of Michael Giacchino’s outstanding music for “The Batman” to make the Best Original Score shortlist. It surprised everyone because, according to many Oscars pundits, Giacchino’s epic score for the superhero film with Robert Pattinson in the title character would undoubtedly be nominated for an Oscar and was already considered a front-runner to take home the prize. Sadly, it was even unable to reach the shortlist.

Every film review lauded the soundtrack and dubbed it one of the greatest of the year. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Academy’s decision was met with resentment.
The Academy’s decision to omit “The Batman” from such a significant category has severely outraged fans, who aren’t afraid to criticize the organization.
