The 10 Best Modern Oscar-Winning Scores
show list info
"The Academy Awards took six years to recognize the power of music in cinema. But ever since Louis Silvers' work on operatic romance One Night of Love was given a golden statuette in 1935, 'Best Scoring' has deservedly been a mainstay of Tinseltown's biggest night — albeit under various different titles and rules.
As of 2025, the category now known as Best Original Score celebrates the finest musical underscores of which at least 35 percent is composed of original music (for franchise entries and sequels, this number rises to 80).
From Hollywood/Bollywood crossovers to golden age throwbacks, here's a look at ten of the most deserving winners since Y2K." - JON O'BRIEN
