Happy Hump Day! I’m continuing to be the DJ and bartender for this weekly series while Don Durito is returning from his walkabout. For today’s theme, I’m sharing songs from movies nominated at the Golden Globe Awards. This continues the theme of movie music and awards shows that I started in last week’s Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 94.
I begin with Dolly Parton: Girl in the Movies from the movie “Dumplin’.” This performance is from The Tonight Show.
Music guest Dolly Parton performs “Girl in the Movies,” with special guest Linda Perry, for the Tonight Show audience.
Next, Annie Lennox – Requiem For A Private War from “A Private War.”
“Writing `Requiem for a Private War’ for the film `A Private War’ has not only given me an opportunity to honour Marie Colvin, but also aims to amplify the `truth to power’ message she fought all her life to convey to the world, regarding the atrocious consequences of warfare and it’s effects upon innocent civilian populations.” Annie Lennox
The last song I’m sharing in the diary proper is REVELATION (Lyric Video) – Troye Sivan and Jónsi from “Boy Erased.”
The other two nominees are “All The Stars” from “Black Panther” and “Shallow” from “A Star Is Born,” which I’ll post in the comments. They had their time in the diary proper last week.
Once again, I’m concluding the diary proper by quoting Don Durito.
For those of you wondering how I and Neon Vincent are circumventing Sucuri to embed videos, here is an example of the embed code we use, so that you can replicate as wanted:
Just remember that each unique 11-digit video code in YouTube needs to be pasted in two separate locations within the embed code in order for your video to show up properly. So easy that I can do it!
With those instructions, feel free to post your favorite music videos in the comments.
Today is National Hard Candy Day and Christmas is next week, so tonight I’m serving Candy Cane Shot Glasses with Candy Cane Vodka.
Happy Holidays! The bartender is taking requests.
Commentary from Best Original Song nominees at the 2019 Golden Globes at Crazy Eddie’s Motie News.
Now for the songs I expect will win, beginning with Kendrick Lamar, SZA – All The Stars from “Black Panther.”
As I mentioned last week, “All the Stars” is also nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rap/Sung Performance, and Best Song Written For Visual Media at the Grammy Awards. It is also nominated for Best Song at the Critics’ Choice Awards. I am certain it will be one of the songs nominated for an Academy Award.
Also earning nominations at both the Grammy Awards and Golden Globes is “Shallow” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper from “A Star Is Born.”
Like “All the Stars,” “Shallow” has four Grammy nominations. In addition to Best Song Written For Visual Media, it is also nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. It is also nominated for Best Song at the Critics’ Choice Awards. Again, I am certain it will be one of the songs nominated for an Academy Award.
As for which song will win, I think “Shallow” is favored over “All the Stars.” The Hollywood Foreign Press Association loves Lady Gaga.
