1 Volker Bertelmann – “All Quiet on the Front”
From its opening theme, the brutal ‘Remains’, the soundtrack to the remarkable ‘All Quiet Front’ it blends perfectly with the multiple sensations that the characters experience during the story.

3 Son Lux – ‘Everything at once everywhere’
As for the masterpiece it represents, Son Lux’s soundtrack for “All at once everywhere” is glamor and excellence, hypnosis and madness, beauty and emotion, imagination and genius. You never know the path that each of the songs that make up a magnificent work will take from start to finish, which is an experience full of stimulation and surprises for the listener. Unless the night is a true Daniels film triumphal walk, which we can’t rule out, it seems this memorable score will almost certainly go without a statuette, but what a joy to see it among the nominees.

If you have seen ‘Babylon’, a masterpiece treated unfairly since its premiere by critics, which has been repeated with an Academy that incomprehensibly excluded it from the ten nominations for best picture, it is very likely that you have not stopped listening to it. impressive soundtrack by a Justin Hurwitz that continues to accumulate honors.
