Ryan Bingham receives a Golden Globe nomination
Gravelly-voiced folk rocker and former Austinite Ryan Bingham has received a Golden Globe nomination for best original song for “The Weary Kind,” his contribution to the Jeff Bridges-starring “Crazy Heart.”
The film, which opens in New York and Los Angeles tomorrow and Austin Jan. 8, boasts a score by T. Bone Burnett and the sadly departed Stephen Bruton. That score has recently picked up accolades from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the New York Online Critics and the Boston Society of Film Critics. Reviewers have also praised Jeff Bridges’ performance as alcoholic country singer Bad Blake — he picked up a nomination for best actor in a drama.
With a Golden Globe nomination under his belt, it will be interesting to see if Bingham gets a nod from the Oscar committee, as well.
