Sure, Denzel Washington had the showier role, but Crowe did a great job in an equal role. Anyhow, the Golden Globes usually give us a sneak peek at what the Oscar Nominations might look like. Take a look at the above and see if you can guess the Academy will select.<\/p>\n And I got this via CNN<\/a>. They are the ones who credited the original score for Into the Wild <\/strong>to Eddie Edder instead of Eddie Vedder. So all you Pearl Jam fans out there, direct your correspondence to them, not me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
