The 2025 Oscar Snub I Will Never, Ever Forgive
Briefly

In Luca Guadagnino's Challengers, the thrilling tennis matches and emotional dynamics are enhanced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' compelling score. The film showcases Tashi's magnetic performance, captivating both her opponents and the audience.

The music, integral to the film's energy and emotional depth, reflects the artistic vision of the director, cementing the film's impact in the minds of viewers.
