For Mary Steenburgen, dreams don’t have an age limit. So, the longtime actress and songwriter is fulfilling one of her lifelong dreams with the release of “Anywhere With You,” a collaborative song co-written with Troy Verges and Caitlyn Smith and recorded with the help of a few recognizable friends: co-stars Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, and Candice Bergen. Released Monday, the song was inspired by Steenburgen’s upcoming and highly anticipated sequel Book Club: The Next Chapter — and she exclusively tells Rolling Stone the track is an homage to her...

Hunter Hayes builds his new song “Wild Blue” around a percussive groove, singing over subtle piano about how the 27-year-old songwriter is undergoing a personal sea change. “Funny how you don’t know you can fly until you finally catch the wind,” he sings. “You think you know the part you play until somebody goes and rewrites the script.”
And then it all explodes, with Hayes delivering a soaring, cathartic guitar solo before the song returns to its subdued piano origin. The title track off Hayes’ just announced new album,...

Carly Pearce pulled double duty on NBC’s Today on Tuesday, performing her current single “Closer to You” and announcing the nominees for the 2019 Cmt Music Awards. The song is the Kentucky native’s first release from an upcoming second album for Big Machine.
Pearce brings her polished singing and confident stage presence to Today, underscoring the desire and longing in her lines about reducing the distance between two people. She didn’t have a hand in writing the tune — that honor goes to Hillary Lindsey, Gordie Sampson and Troy Verges...

It was a little over a year ago that Carly Pearce released her debut LP, Every Little Thing, and, here at a house in Brentwood, Tennessee, the Kentucky-born singer-songwriter admits that, in some ways, it’s hard to identity with the woman who graces that album cover.
“As much as I love that album, and as much as I love that girl, I am not her anymore,” Pearce tells Rolling Stone Country, sitting on a stool in jeans and leather jacket. She’s back in Nashville for a brief stint off the road,...

It’s been three years since Brantley Gilbert’s 2011 “Halfway to Heaven” album. Ask the country singer what took so long for him to craft follow-up, “Just As I Am,” out May 19, and he jokes, “I needed a nap.” Then when that doesn’t sound dramatic enough, he goes for “I was cryogenically frozen.” The nap bit is definitely more plausible. “Halfway to Heaven,” which was originally released on indie Average Joe’s Entertainment in 2010, then picked up by Big Machine Label Group’s Valory Records in 2011, spawned the hits “Country Must Be Country Wide” and “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do.” Gilbert, who writes his own material, has spent most of the last three years on the road, touring and building his audience, including his rabid fans who compose the Bg Nation. Plus, he says, “I had some things to figure out. There was a lot going...

Tim McGraw got his Christmas present early when a judge decided that he could, indeed, get released from his record contract from Curb Records, with whom he has been feuding for years now. So now, he’s spreading his joy with his fans via this free download of “Christmas All Over the World,” a rocking, twangy little tune written by Daniel Tashian and Troy Verges.

With modern day country classics like "Crazy Heart" and "Walk the Line" being relished by moviegoers and critics alike, it seems like this southern music movie genre has definitely ventured west from Texas into Hollywood's heart.

Since we can't stop yee-hawing over "Country Strong," we thought we'd send a little Nashville movie lovin' your way yonder. We're giving away a "Country Strong" prize-pack, including a copy of the DVD (which hits shelves this week), a soundtrack signed by three songwriters (Tom Douglas, Hillary Lindsey and Troy Verges) and a T-shirt to one lucky reader.

Did the Oscars surprise anyone? Sci-Fi fans, we are of course still sore over Christopher Nolan’s snub for Best Director, but Inception still was recognized with four Oscars. Genre highlights from the 83rd Academy Awards also include Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland sweeping away the two coveted design awards in Art Direction and Costume Design and The Wolfman won for Best Makeup. Pixar‘s Toy Story 3 took home Best Animated Film and Best Song.
This Sunday’s broadcast of the 83rd Academy Awards on ABC attempted to reach out to a “younger crowd” with its choice of hosts, Anne Hathaway and James Franco, but the live broadcast dropped 9% in overall ratings compared to last year’s broadcast and down 12% in the 18-49 adult demographic. Still, the show entertained 37.6 million viewers with a show full of exposition to educate new viewers about the history of past Oscar winners.

… And so another year of the most boring and predictable awards ceremony on planet Earth has passed. There were cheesy speeches, somebody said the ‘f’ word and Colin Firth won an Oscar. The 83rd Annual Academy Awards were presented by James Franco and Anne Hathaway to what looks like very mixed reviews judging from responses this morning.

If you missed the broadcast of the 83rd Academy Awards, or you can't remember who won what, here is a list of all the winners in their categories. The King's Speech and Inception both tied for the most Oscars won, which was four statues each. However, whereas Inception took home awards for technical categories (Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound and Best Cinematography), The King's Speech won three of the top four categories (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay).
Best Picture:
Black Swan (Fox Searchlight Pictures), Mike Medavoy, Brian Oliver and Scott Franklin, Producers The Fighter (Paramount Pictures), David Hoberman, Todd Lieberman and Mark Wahlberg, Producers Inception (Warner Bros.

In a surge reminiscent of its late-breaking Oscar season momentum, The King’s Speech triumphed at the 2011 Academy Awards, winning three of the final four categories including Best Picture, Best Actor (Colin Firth), and Best Director (Tom Hooper). The magnificent British drama took home four golden statues on Sunday, tieing Christopher Nolan’s Inception for the most Oscars, and narrowly beating critic favorite and three-time winner The Social Network.
Hosted by a smug, sleepy James Franco and a cheery, happy-to-be-there Anne Hathaway, the 3+ hour ceremony felt like an eternity. The next-generation actors were supposed to liven what is traditionally a stuffy telecast, but their monologue and subsequent appearances lacked the classy zingers of Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin’s banter or the pep of Hugh Jackman’s show.
Further attempts to appeal to a populist crowd, such as autotuning some of 2010’s big blockbusters or quipping about Charlie Sheen, fell flat,...

Well I certainly don't think 2011 will go down as one of the more memorable years in Oscar history; not only were the winners fairly predictable, but the ceremony itself seemed dull and uninspired. Despite an attempt to add a "youthful edge" to the Oscars this year, it was almost completely lacking in comedy, excitement or entertainment. Hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway seemed to be dreadfully unprepared and lacking material, leaving Franco to put up a facade of aloof detachment while Hathaway simply attempted to win everyone over with cuteness. The King's Speech went on to secure most of the major awards including Best Picture, Director, Actor and Original Screenplay, reinforcing the stuffy British Oscar stereotype. For the second time David Fincher was denied Best Director, but The Social Network did end up getting awards for Film Editing, Original Score and Adapted Screenplay. Natalie Portman still managed to snag Best Actress for Black Swan,...

Hollywood's biggest night of the year has come and gone, and it seems many could care less. Last night's 83rd Annual Academy Awards show wasn't as dreadful as many critics have charged, but it wasn't lustrous, either — not the way it has been in decades past — leading many to wonder if the ceremony is: a) losing its relevance; b) compromised by the down economy; c) an indicator of the changing state of both the film and broadcast industry.
The turn of the 21st century has seen the celebrated awards show take a hit. Changes over the past decade seem to have aversely affected the program, including shifting the broadcast from Monday at 9pm to Sunday at 8:30pm in 1999. During the TV writers strike in 2008, just over 32M viewers watched the Oscars, the least viewed ever.
This year the Academy Awards show fell to an 11.7 adults 18-49 rating, down 12% vs.

Football has the Super Bowl, baseball has the World Series, soccer has the World Cup and movies have the Academy Awards. Each year, Hollywood's schedule more or less culminates with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences handing out Oscars for the year's best films and Sunday, for the 83rd straight time, it happened again. Hosts James Franco [1] and Anne Hathaway [2] helped some of the most famous actors and actresses [3] in the world hand out the hardware for the best of 2010. Leading the pack with twelve total nominations [4] was The King's Speech, followed by True Grit with ten, Inception and The Social Network with eight, The Fighter with seven, 127 Hours with six, Black Swan and Toy Story 3 with five and The Kids Are all Right and Winter's Bone with four. And those just so happen to be the 10 films nominated for Best Picture. Did your favorite film take home an Oscar?...

Oscars – a love/hate scenario; the nominations are always predictable, and with every passing year I’m increasingly angered by the Academy’s ignorance to the diversity of film. The 10-picture standard, reinstated last year for the first time since 1943, is supposedly a mechanism for spotlighting good films, including those of the blockbuster variety. Last year this seemed like a grand revelation, that the Academy was exploding their perception of film, that the blockbuster was being perceived positively and not as a lesser film. In fact, nothing changed, the alteration has only introduced the illusion of appreciation; the mindset still is that no matter the quality of the film, the most classic variety, with very few exceptions (Titanic, Gladiator, The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King), will always win the Oscar. The blockbuster is the whore of the film industry and classic-esque film is the heartbeat and the beauty.

Photo: AMPAS // RopeofSilicon.com The Oscar voting period for the 2011 Oscars ended yesterday at 5 p.m. Pst and the scramble for Oscar positioning continued up until the final bell, notably in the Art Direction race, which, if you haven't heard yet, wait until we get to that category in this prediction piece. Things got a bit "steamy" in Lionel Logue's office yesterday. This, of course, is on top of everything else The King's Speech has been facing since it became the perceived front-runner shortly after it received 12 Oscar nominations, and even one day before.
But all that is in the past. The ballots have been turned in and there is no turning back. Now it's our turn to predict who will win.
In this article I will give my predictions in all categories except for Documentary Short Subject, Live Action Short and Animated Short. I have not yet had a chance to watch those,...

It's been almost 12 years since Gwyneth Paltrow took to the stage of the Academy Awards as the Best Actress winner for her work in "Shakespeare in Love." Now, Paltrow will return to the Oscar stage once again, only this time, not as a nominee or presenter, rather, as something she's been a lot more of these days — a performer.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paltrow will perform the Best Original Song nominee "Coming Home" (with music and lyrics by nominees Tom Douglas, Troy Verges and Hillary Lindsey) from her movie "Country Strong" during the 83rd Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, February 27.
Paltrow has already sung songs from the flick elsewhere, including a live performance of "Country Strong" at the Country Music Awards. It will be the second time this month the star will perform during a live awards ceremony, as she and Cee Lo Green will hit the Grammy stage together,...

After being dropped or truncated on recent telecasts, this year's Oscars promise production numbers devoted to each of the four Best Song nominees. With TV variety show vet Don Mischer, a 13-time Emmy winner, handling directing and co-producing duties, expect some classy renditions of these tunes. Best Actress champ Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare in Love") will perform “Coming Home” from “Country Strong.” She did a crackerjack job singing this song, penned by Tom Douglas, Hillary Lindsey and Troy Verges, on the recent Cma Awards. Nominee A.R. Rahman, who won this prize as well as Best Score two years ago for "Slumdog Milionaire" will be joined by Grammy contender Florence Welch, of Florence + the Machine for “If I Rise” from "127 Hours." Rahman wrote the music while Dido, who sings on the soundtrack, and Rollo Armstrong did the lyrics. Eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken, a nominee for the music to &ldq...

The Oscar nominations have been announced and it’s great to see Inception, Toy Story 3, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, Iron Man 2, Tangled, Tron, and Wolfman being honored this year. This year’s nominations hit the familiar marks that the sci-fi genre is most associated with in the categories of special effects, art direction, animation, costuming, and make-up.
Inception is the most visibly well-rounded in achievements in film-making and leads the sci-fi/fantasy pack with eight nominations, though director Christopher Nolan was snubbed in the Best Director nominations. Toy Story 3 follows with an impressive five nominations, and both films garnered nominations in the Best Picture category.
Check out the breakdown of the nominations by film, followed by a listing of all nominations by category. [Sci-fi nominees in bold]

The Oscar race is on again. Office pools everywhere are likely heating up with the announcement of the nominees for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards (airing February 27th on ABC). I may not know who will be winners and I am not a gambling man, but playing prophet is always fun, regardless of the award.
As always, there should be two picks for each category when you're faced with a list of Oscar nominees. One as a personal pick and one as a guess as to which the Academy would pick.

The final countdown to the Oscars has begun with yesterday’s announcement of the nominees. Soon we’ll know which are the best movies of the year (that aren’t horrors or comedies, that were released in the last 6 months, that had a studio awards push behind them, and that consider a decade-long bias toward British actors playing monarchs). Here are the contenders in the main categories.

Like we promised yesterday, the 83rd annual Academy Award nominations have been announced this morning -- following yesterdays Razzie nominees funnily enough! Announced at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles, California by President Tom Sherak and last year's Best Supporting Actress winner Mo'Nique. So this means that the winners of these categories, will go on to be announced at the event itself - hosted by 2011 nominees Anne Hathaway, and James Franco (unfortunately Rickey Gervais was busy) - which is held February 27th.
Looking at the nominations for 2011, it looks like The King's Speech and The Fighter are looking at some good wins, with 12-13 nods each -- along with, of course The Social Network. But whats got me, is the lack of nominations for Nolan's Inception -- which was bloody fantastic, and my second favorite of the year.

Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech lead the Oscar nominations this morning with twelve mentions, making the regal drama the film to beat at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards on February 27.
The Coen brothers’ True Grit followed closely with ten nominations and early frontrunner The Social Network finished with eight. “Ten seems like an awful lot,” the Coen brothers said in a joint statement Tuesday. ”We don’t want to take anyone else’s.”
All three were included in the “Best Picture” category, as expected, along with several other awards shoo-ins like The Kids Are All Right and Toy Story 3 (only the third animated film ever in the category). Winter’s Bone was the only surprise in the field of ten, possibly edging out Ben Affleck’s critically-acclaimed The Town or Mark Romanek’s Never Let Me Go, which were both snubbed from the ceremony entirely.

Ar Rahman is continuing to rake in the accolades and recognition for his work on Danny Boyle's 127 Hours. So far, the maestro has been nominated at the Golden Globes, the Baftas and has won the Best Song for 'If I Rise' at the Critics Choice Award. He can now add two more prestigious nominations to that list because this morning he was nominated for Best Original Score and Best Original Song for "If I Rise" for the The 83rd Annual Academy Awards, which will be given out on February 27th.
This is the second time that Rahman has been nominated for the Academy Awards, in 2009 he took home the prize for both categories for his work on Slumdog Millionaire, which was also directed by Danny Boyle.

Okay. For most, this is not really that important. For us (for some unknown reason) the Academy Awards, and yes, even the nomination announcements, are marked days in our calendar. Since we gained the capacity to retain memories we’ve watched the Oscars and rooted for our favourite flicks… and by rooted we mean bet on the winners in hopes of walking away both Oscar prediction champion and with a few extra bucks in our pocket. This year the road starts here with the full list of nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards.
Before we get to the list we obviously have to add our two cents… The King’s Speech reigns supreme with the most noms (12 in total) and deservedly so But we think it will have a hard time winning anything except Best Actor for Colin Firth. Some surprises you may notice are no Christopher Nolan/Inception for Best Director,...

The nominations are in. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for this year's 83rd Academy Awards, (a.k.a. the Oscars), and as usual, the list contains some surprises. As Academy president Tom Sherak and Oscar winning actress Mo'Nique read the names of the nominees in each category from L.A. this morning, a few names were noticeably absent. Director Christopher Nolan was once again overlooked by the Academy, this time for his direction of the film Inception (2010). He did garner a nod for writing and producing the film, but the Best Director nomination continues to elude him. Also absent from the list - Mark Wahlberg for his performance in The Fighter (2010), even though fellow cast mates Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo each received acting props. Wahlberg is a producer on the film, which received a nom in the Best Motion Picture category.
