Best song and the Oscars
Austin music fans have reason to cheer.
Local favorite Ryan Bingham and fellow songwriter T Bone Burnett were nominated for “The Weary Kind,” from “Crazy Heart.” And it looks like the two have a good change of winning.
Here are the other nominees:
“Almost There,” from “The Princess and the Frog” by Randy Newman
“Down in New Orleans,” from “The Princess and the Frog” by Randy Newman
“Loin de Paname,” from “Paris 36”
“Take it All,” from “Nine” by Maury Yeston
Newman is always a big favorite at the Oscars, but this time, he’s competing against himself for two songs from “The Princess and the Frog.” So that might help the chances of “The Weary Kind.” We’ll see.
