It’s no “Lose Yourself”, but this week I’ve gone for one of Eminem’s new tracks from Southpaw, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a boxer fighting for a new life with his daughter. The original song might not land Eminem another Oscar nomination, but it’s possible the track could enter the field with five slots in the Best Original Song category. Check out “Phenomenal” below.
I love Eminem. I'd actually like to see him get another Oscar nom and actually show up to the ceremony. Great choice here! I haven't gotten a chance to listen to it the whole way through until now.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It'd be awesome to see him perform at the Oscars!
DeleteYeah, it's not Lose Yourself, but it's pretty hard hitting. I like it, and would love to see Eminem a two time Oscar nominee (one time winner).
ReplyDeleteI don't think the song will be nominated, assuming it even makes the eligibility list, but I'm all for another nom for Eminem.
DeleteWasn't EMINEM supposed to play the lead of this one? It's crazy that Jake G bulked up so much for this role. Hope he gets some nominations later this year.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Eminem was supposed to play the lead, and it would've been interesting to see that version. Gyllenhaal is great, but I think Eminem showed potential for a role like this when he starred in 8 Mile.
DeleteEminem NEEDS to follow up his 'should have been Oscar nominated' performance in 8 Mile!
DeleteYes! He's SO good in that movie!
DeleteEminem's new song, I love it! I need to request this song to my favorite radio station so that they can include this on top 10 songs list. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a good track, and I hope he'll get an awards campaign for it.
