"Minari" has recently been nominated for 10 Critics Choice Awards and 3 Screen Actors Guild Awards. It's been one of the most beloved films of the year ever since its premiere at last year's Sundance Film Festival. One of the key ingredients in what makes the movie work so well is the beautiful score by Emile Mosseri ("The Last Black Man In San Francisco"). Emile's work has been nominated by the Critics Choice Association and has also been shortlisted by the Academy for Best Original Score and Best Original Song for the 93rd Academy Awards. Emile was kind enough to talk to us about his work on the film a few months ago and we are now releasing that interview so you can download the score, listen for yourself and discover why it is one of the best films scores of 2020.

Interview With "Greyhound" VFX Supervisors, Nathan McGuiness & Pete Bebb

"Greyhound" may have come out earlier this year but it has been able to stand out amongst a crowded Oscar season for having some of the bigger production values seen in any movie this year. Its visual effects work is the kind of large blockbuster filmmaking that audiences are sorely missing in their lives right now and with tomorrow's visual effects shortlist to be announced by the Academy, we have a feeling the work from Apple's WWII submarine movie starring Tom Hanks, will make the cut.

"Mank" is one of 2020's most technically dazzling films.
