Veteran rockers up for Oscars
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Pop stars can turn to the Oscars when they want something besides Grammys on their trophy shelves.
The competition among Sting, Randy Newman, Paul McCartney and Enya in this year's best movie song category highlights the parallel careers some celebrity musicians are developing in film music.
"In your wildest dreams you could say, 'Well, one day I'll get nominated for a Grammy.' But an Oscar seems like kind of a long shot," said Sting, nominated for the song "Until" from the comedy Kate & Leopold.
Sting has collected some of his soundtrack songs on a compilation album, Sting at the Movies, and was nominated for his first
Oscar last year for "My Funny Friend and Me" from the Disney cartoon The Emperor's New Groove.
In the notoriously fickle music industry, experts say performing on a soundtrack can give veteran stars unique opportunities to showcase their music to a new audience.
The exposure is magnified even more by a coveted Oscar nomination.
"There's a lot of pressure on the radio market to find a hot new thing and all these nominees are veterans; they're yesterday's hot things," said Tom O'Neil, author of the book Movie Awards and proprietor of the award Web site Goldderby.com. "This is a very shrewd way to find an alternative medium."
Oscar wins by Phil Collins and
Elton John for songs they performed in the Disney cartoons Tarzan in 1999 and The Lion King in 1994, respectively, gave a shot of energy to their lagging musical careers. And Randy Newman, who had hit singles in the '70s and '80s with "Short People" and "I Love L.A.," is now better known for his movie music than solo recordings.
All three of Newman's Gramms are for film music, and this year he's in the Oscar category for best song with "If I Didn't Have You" from *Monsters, Inc.* His score for the animated feature has another nomination.
Newman's never received an Oscar, however, and unless he gets one this year he'll set a new Oscar record — for the most losses. If he loses in both categories, he'll be 0 for 16.
