Avengers: Endgame and Captain Marvel Make Oscar Shortlists

Once the new year is here, awards season will officially be upon us and before long, The Academy Awards will be front and center. Monday afternoon, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts of Sciences unveiled a few of the shortlists for this year’s categories, including Best Documentary Feature, International Feature Film, Makeup and Hairstyling, and more. Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame found its way onto two of the lists: Music (Original Score) and Visual Effects. Captain Marvel — another Marvel Studios film from earlier this year — also got a nod on the Visual Effects shortlist.

It should be noted these aren’t actual Academy Award nominations just yet. Nominations voting officially begins January 2nd and members of The Academy have until the 7th to make their votes. The nominees for the 92nd Academy Awards will then be unveiled on January 13, 2020.

After Alan Silvestri’s score made the first cut, it looks like Avengers: Endgame producer Trinh Tranh was right when we spoke to her in October. Then, she was pretty passionate about the composer getting an Oscar nod. “I feel like there’s so many that I’m so proud of each of the departments where we’re really pushing and striving to get their acknowledgement for,” she says. “Alan Silvestri is absolutely amazing. It’s so hard to just pick one because they’re all just so unique in itself. But just like I said, Alan’s just amazing and we’ve worked with him for so many years and this one, the music was just such an emotional connection with the characters and with the story that we have that I felt genuinely just felt so right for Endgame.”

Disney has been pushing Endgame in 14 separate Oscars categories, including Best Director for Joe and Anthony Russo.
