Golden Globe Song Nominees

The Golden Globe nominees for Best Original are:

Pearl Jam - Big Fish
Sting - Cold Mountain
Elton John - Mona Lisa Smile
Bono - In America
Annie Lennox - Lord of the Rings: Return of the King


All well known successful pop/rock acts.
U2 won last year.
Who will get the nod this year?

Other than Annie's song, the rest are typical Golden Globes pap.

Therefore Annie SHOULD win. It's the best song of the lot, but poor by her standards.

The Sting-penned piece of shit from Cold Mountain will win, primarily because Miramax chief Harvey Weinstein typically buys the noms (and the awards). Textbook examples would include Shakespeare In Love, Gangs Of New York and Chicago.

8 noms for bloated historical epic Cold Mountain? Yup, it's gonna win. Just like Bono won for Gangs Of New York last year. I think it scores well enough on the bland-o-meter to qualify, don't you?

Pearl Jam, Annie Lennox & Elton John don't stand a chance. Its between Bono & Sting.
Sting's movie is bigger - he will win.

What's the title of the Sting song? I looked at the Cold Mountain soundtrack and didn't see his name listed on it.

Elton John's song sucks. I'm sorry, Elton's one of my all time favorite artists, but that song is terrible.

It's called "You Will Be My Ain True Love". zzz once I heard that title. Downloaded it to confirm my preconceptions.

Same old shit but I'm glad Annie won. Quite frankly, not enough people do soundtracks like they used to. They just don't sell anymore.

No.
Cold Mountain (with Stings song) was bigger then In America (with Bonos song) since in my incorrect theory it was between those two.
