    Coldplay miss out on the Golden Globes and Oscars - but can they take home a Grammy or two?

    Coldplay were beaten by U2 to the Best Original Song at the Golden Globes award ceremony in Los Angeles recently, and even failed to make the shortlist in the Song Oscar contenders (both for Atlas), but all is not lost for Coldplay while they are in the US during 'awards season'. The GRAMMY Awards 2014 are tonight - and they're up for two awards. Latest discussion on the ceremony at the Coldplay forum now.

     

    Read on for a preview of tonight's GRAMMYs and the Golden Globes mini-review...

     

     

    As we reported at the end of 2013, put forward for a GRAMMY award are: Atlas for 'Best Song Written For Visual Media' and Live 2013 for 'Best Music Film'.

     

    The GRAMMYs will be broadcast on CBS tonight (26th January 2014) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. A complete list of this year's nominations can be found on the official GRAMMYs website. A quick poll suggests that Coldplay may take one, but probably not both GRAMMY awards:

    From the recent Golden Globes awards, this mini-review of U2's triumph over Coldplay and Taylor Swift is taken from the entertainment.ie website:

     

    It must be good being Bono. He's one of the biggest superstars in the history of music, the owner of vast wealth and riches and has world leaders scattered through the speed dial option of his phone waiting to take his call at a moment's notice. Well, the Killiney native has another reason to celebrate this morning after U2's song 'Ordinary Love' scooped up the Golden Globe for Best Original Song at last night's Golden Globes in California - the first song that the band have recorded in more than three years.

     

    'Ordinary Love' was part of the soundtrack to the Nelson Mandela biopic Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom, a story close to Bono's heart. Bono was quoted as saying of Mandela last month upon news of his passing: "This man turned our life upside down, right-side up. [He was] a man who refused to hate not because he didn't have rage or anger or those things, but that he thought love would do a better job."

     

    The Danger Mouse produced track beat Coldplay's 'Atlas' from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, 'Let It Go' from Frozen, 'Please Mr Kennedy' from Inside Llewyn Davis and 'Sweet Than Fiction' by Taylor Swift from the movie One Chance. Stay strong Taylor, you'll have your chance one day...
