So I guess Clint sings the theme song from Gran Torino.

I gave up after about 30 seconds.

Good Luck

Sounds like Tom Waits without the palette of timbre.

Just another thing that convinces me this will be one of the year's worst. It seems SO AWFUL.

I'm not worried about BP/BD. BUT I am concerned they're going to wheel his body out for Best Actor and award two stars posthumously that night.

Best Song FTW!

Clint will pwn all come Feb. 22.

C'mon, would YOU fuck with the guy in my siggie??

Whoop de fuckin' doooooo

This can't be real. Right? It's too awful.

I'm sure it's funny. I haven't listened yet.

But is it really worse than this steaming turd that Ed Harris dropped in the Appaloosa credits?

Ok, Clint's is worse. Still, no way his movie is as bad as Appaloosa.

People in my audience at Slumdog Millionaire laughed repeatedly at the Gran Torino trailer. I don't know what that means.

^

Same thing happened on Wednesday before Australia.

I think Gran Torino looks great if you don't take it seriously. Just take it like Dirty Harry Dodges Depends and it looks awesome, in a Commando-sans-homoeroticism sort of way.

That was one of the funniest things... ever. Sometimes, randomly throughout the day, I just think about it and start laughing.

I would not have been able to sit through the whole song (well, actually I still didn't) but after about a third of the song, someone else starts singing... even more odd.

Ok, this song NEEDS to get nominated just so Eastwood gets on stage and sings it!!

Should we just turn this thread into Best Song? Do we have a thread for it?

I think Springstean's "The Wrestler" is in as well as Wall-E's "Down to Earth"

Slumdog Millionaire - "Jai Ho"
Gran Torino - "Gran Torino"
Hamlet 2 - "Rock Me Sexy Jesus" (wishful thinking?)
Mariah Carey?

I don't want to even think of the possibility of Miley Cyrus getting a nomination (wait, would she?)

I may be biased but I think The Wrestler is going to win.

The songs in Yes Man were actually really good. Zooey's voice is great. I still want Bruce to win though, his song is just phenomenal.

Did you make that? It's not official, is it? I thought, just for one example, that HSM3 had only submitted four of its songs for consideration.

That's official. It has already been posted in the Mariah Carey topic.

hmm...

1. "The Wrestler" - The Wrestler
2. "Rock Me Sexy Jesus" - Hamlet 2
3. "Little Person" - Synecdoche, New York
4. "I Thought I Lost You" - Bolt
5. One of the HSM3 songs

but i really have no idea. I'm guessing one of Beyoncé's Cadillac Records songs will sneak in there.

These two will definitely be nominated:

“Down to Earth” from “WALL-E”
“The Wrestler” from “The Wrestler”

I also think one of the two nominated songs from Slumdog will get in

“Jai Ho” from “Slumdog Millionaire” or “O Saya” from “Slumdog Millionaire”

Then it gets a bit trickier. I think "Gran Torino" could show up, and complete a double or triple nom for Clint (Actor, Score, Song).

"Rock Me Sexy Jesus" from Hamlet 2 seems almost like a 2007 release at this point. It never caught fire the way producers were expecting but the song is so damn good!

High School Movie is a possibility, as is Rachel Getting Married. There's "Dracula's Lament" from FSM and Trouble The Water from the documentary of the same name.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Disney shows up twice (after HSM) with Bolt.

Another Way to Die from Quantum of Solace. Unless they decide to go for some generic crap instead.

Down to Earth from Wall-E.

The Wrestler from The Wrestler

Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire *winner*

Gran Torino from Gran Torino.

Dracula's Lament!!! I didn't realize that was eligible! Easily the best use of a song IN a movie this year.

Dracula's Lament is just so short.
