The late, legendary musician Robbie Robertson (from Six-Nations) was nominated for Best Music (Original Score) for his work on Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon but Ludwig Göransson took home the hardware for Oppenheimer.

The most interesting musical performance of the night went to London, Ontario's Ryan Gosling and his incredible music number I'm Just Ken backed from the movie Barbie (in which he co-starred). He was joined by Guns N Roses guitarist Slash and Wolfgang Van Halen.
