It time to look at all of the original score and although the International film music critics don't have an original song category the original song category.

Best Original Score

Who Will Win: The Artist definitely is the favorite The Artist  favorite here and really deserves to be. The Artist score was brilliant, funny and sad at all the time. Ludovic Bource has been winning this award all over the place and is really going to benefit from the best picture runner front runner status. Plus Ludovic Bource hasn't won before




Who Could Win: Receiving two nominations and a boatload of nominations from the IFMC could help him win an Oscar. War Horse is a really good score and a best picture nomination for War Horse help. But a lack of a best animated feature nomination for Tintin could hurt him and the academy could decide to go for John Williams next year for Lincoln(I'm assuming he composing that score if I'm wrong please comment)

Winner: The Artist

Best Original Song

Who Will Win: This category is a very weird category to call considering the WTF of the nominations. I'll go with Man or Muppet considering how much better known and critical acclaimed The Muppet's is than Rio. Plus it's would be really awesome to see one of the Flight of the Conchords get an Oscar.

Who Could Win: Real in Rio could win based on how little the academy cares for this category considering how much very known The Muppet's is. Although some people consider Man or Muppets repetitive and The Muppet's don't have an great record with the Oscars. (also why are the songs not being performed another WTF)

Winner: Man or Muppet
