Oh, yes there is, but they are different. From my understanding, soundtrack is a compilation of music consisting of all the songs written and performed for the movie, whereas score is the background music played in the movie.

A Star Is Born doesn't really have an impressive score, because the music is usually taken from the soundtrack itself, in fact there isn't even a person in charge for the music score, no one is credited.

it says something like “additional music by Bradley Cooper” it is kind of odd no one is credited with the score

I can't believe it can't be nominated for best soundtrack because of the two very brief inclusions of past songs. I thought it would have to be a decent chunk of it being old songs for it to be considered as such. Why didn't anyone research this before curating the soundtrack? Oh, well, the Oscars have always been mega strict in this regard so I can't say I'm surprised. Madonna's song, Masterpiece wasn't elgible for an Oscar nomination the year she won the Golden Globe because her song didn't play until later in the credits and it has to be in the first 2 minutes to count. The Oscars are just strict that way.

There's still a lot of confusion regarding this whole thing. Listen people, there is NO Oscar category for "Best Soundtrack"... The category is for "Best Original Score" which is referring to original instrumental compositions which would nominate a film composer. Examples - Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Thomas Newman, etc.

ASIB does NOT have an original score. There was no film composer hired to create an accompanying score for the film. As others have mentioned, any light instrumental music that is played during the film was credited to Bradley Cooper as "additional Music". If ASIB had an eligible score, it would have been released as a separate entity, completely apart from the soundtrack.

For example, let's look at La La Land... La La Land has two albums associated with the film. It has the soundtrack album which consist of the original songs with lyrics and singing, and then it has an album for the score. They are two separate entities and thus are two separate categories.

I repeat, ASIB simply can not be submitted for Best Original Score because it simply does NOT have one...

EDUCATE THEM :queenga:

The Grammys have two categories that help differ it: Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media. La La Land ran in both and won both. ASIB next year will only contend in Compilation Soundtrack.

Also,The Academy does have a category named Best Original Song Score in their rulebook that would be what people considered "best soundtrack". However this category was never presented in over 30 years because it doesn't have enough films entries to qualify a competition. So they never award it anymore.

They ask for a film to have, at least, 5 original songs. I believe the eligible films this year that could contend would be ASIB, Mary Poppins Returns, Love, Simon, Black Panther (maybe). Does anyone know more possible musicals or films with extensive original songs that could contend here?

What causes the confusion is that "scores" do contain lyrical songs on them too. The ones up for submission this year did. I do see your point, don't get me wrong, but I just think the terms contradict themselves somewhat. But if that really is the reasoning behind its lack of submission (and it does appear to be, looking at past nominees), that makes me feel a whole lot better.
