2009: Oscar Nominations in a Lonely Role1 of 5
In Crazy Heart (2009), Jeff Bridges plays Bad Blake, a country singer whose days of glory are over and the present ones spent in the company of bottles of whisky in shabby motels. Ironically, his music is basically his sordid life translated into poetry, the more he suffers, the better he sings... but there's too much suffering a man can take and even if people like him, it's through Maggie Gylenhall's Jean that he realizes his need to be loved again.
