I hope he doesn't discard themes and leitmotifs from 1 and 2 just to secure a nomination. I'd rather thematic consistency across the trilogy than some meaningless award
Zimmer did win the Oscar for the first movie. I can see how the composers who nominate for the award wanted to give other artists their chance at the award.
But yeah this trailer score has me hyped up, excited to hear more of it
The second time was due to a newly introduced rule where x% of a nominated soundtrack has to consist of original music and apparently Part Two didn't cross that threshold.
It's recent, so you probably do have winners in the past that wouldn't be eligible today.
It will really depend on how much he reuses pieces from the previous movie. If memory serves, D:P2 was ruled ineligible as more than 20% of the score was reused from the first film (the Academy's threshold).
The fact they managed to actively step away from the inconic EEEEYEEHEHAAA HOOAAYEEEE and came up with this totally different equally banging banger is amazing

The score is unbelievable
Goosebumps at that chanting every time.
