There are only a few individuals on this list whose musical judgments I'd trust, namely Carl Davis with Zarvos & Umebayashi (and maybe Pinto or McIntosh).
However, regarding ...
Mary J. Blige
... I ask myself "Can this person truly assess the musical values of film music scores written by classically-trained composers?"

When I read the Mary J. Blige comment, it occurred to me to respond with a question of my own, to wit: Why not? Haven't those classically trained composers in the Music Branch always been tasked with assessing the film values of the nominees in the Best Song category?
