Sound of Metal

Take a peek into punk-metal drummer Ruben’s (Riz Ahmed) journey as he copes with intermittent hearing loss and reclaims his life filled with music. As his condition worsens rapidly, he reluctantly checks into a secluded sober house for the deaf to cope with his situation. Sound of Metal won the Oscars for Best Film Editing and Best Sound, especially with how they maximized both so the audience can experience Ruben’s journey with him. The film also went head to head with major runners such as Nomadland, The Father and Judas and The Black Messiah.

Judas and The Black Messiah

Judas and The Black Messiah is a movie about the assassination of Black Panther revolutionary Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya) by William O’Neal (LaKeith Stanfield). The trailer alone is enough to leave you exhilarated and curious. Daniel Kaluuya brought home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his jaw-dropping performance of Hampton while H.E.R. won Best Original Song for Fight For You.

The Father

The Father follows Anthony (Anthony Hopkins), an 80-year-old who is dealing with his deteriorating memory and how his daughter Anne (Olivia Colman) helps him through it. This movie shows the world of someone who is suffering from dementia while depicting their struggles in the most empathetic way. This film won Best Adapted Screenplay, with the performance that landed Anthony Hopkins the Oscar for Best Actor. 

Soul

In the film, Joe Gardener (Jamie Foxx) encounters an unfortunate event that forces him to enter another world called The Great Before. Here, he meets 22 (Tina Fey), who’s not too keen on life on Earth. As Joe convinces 22 to think otherwise, the two find answers to the most important questions about life. This soulful reality check of our own beings won two Oscars: Best Animated Film and Best Original Score. It’s not surprising since Joe’s main driver in the beginning was music.
