Nattatouille Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Coldplay's Chris Martin is among those nominated in the Best Song category for the 2011 Oscars. 41 songs are longlisted for the award, with the winner set to be announced at the Oscars ceremony on February 27 at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. Martin is nominated for his song 'Me And Tennessee', which features on the soundtrack to forthcoming film Country Strong, starring his wife Gwyneth Paltrow as a down-on-her-luck country singer. Other artists nominated include Janet Jackson and Alanis Morissette. The 41 songs will be whittled down to no more than five by the time the full Oscar nominations are announced on January 25.

Corkus Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Pretty cool honor. I'd say his chances are slim given how much competition he has, and I haven't actually heard the song that's nominated, but it's nice to see the Oscars recognize him anyway. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technicolor Sparks Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Awesome! Congrats Chris! :awesome: I wonder if the song will make it to the shortlist. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christa42 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 just had a flash in my brain would chris play piano or an instrument along side gwen at the awards if the song makes it to the the final 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, right :P. If he ends up on the shortlist, I'd bet money on them not even sitting with each other at the ceremony despite the fact that they always seat people from the same films near each other :dozey:. I just find this so hysterical...they won't be seen in public together and barely acknowledge one another's existence so they don't look like they're a Hollywood power couple feeding off each other's fame, and then they work together like this :P. I think they're allowed to go for a walk in the park together now, or bring the kids out for pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinFan Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I bet any money if he makes the list, he will not even show for it.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 They usually all perform, though...he could turn it down or get someone else to do it, but I think that would just be so ridiculous :P. His absence would make the whole thing more obvious than it would be if he just did it, but I doubt he sees it that way :lol:. Anyway, who knows if he'll even be one of the five. This is so awesome, but I can't help snarfing a little bit at the irony :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancyk58 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I guess that Chris would let himself be represented by the Christmas Lights piano. Then Gwyn can sing the tune with the piano by her side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejolo Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 umm two things . 1) First , chris is not nominated. This is like a subbmision list , the real nominees will be released in January ( I think) *fingers crossed* I bet any money if he makes the list, he will not even show for it. 2) Second of all , the song is WRITTEN by Chris , but not performed by him. So , he will not perform it on the Oscars , Gwyneth and Tim McGraw will. Although if this song is nominated , Chris will be the one taking the Oscar home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 They've had writers of songs perform in the past, even if they're not the original performer. All of this is just speculation for now, for a bit of fun :wink:. I'm laughing at the thought of Chris bumbling out an acceptance speech, though :lol:.
