The trailer for Crazy Heart notes that both stars Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal have been nominated for Oscars , and the solemn, raw tone of the film looks an awful lot like awards show bait for these two big talents. Jeff Bridges stars as Bad Blake, a grizzled, hard-livin’, lovin’, and drinkin’ country singer/songwriter who’s known for his amazing music, and Maggie Gyllenhaal plays the journalist he eventually falls for. We don’t see a ton of plot in the trailer, but

the story seems like a familiar one, complete with introspection and a soft country anthem that fits the title. Colin Farrell and Robert Duvall also star in the film, which features original songs by celebrated songwriter T-Bone Burnett. To see the trailer and predict for yourself if this is one you’re going to be seeing in the Oscar race, just read more.
