Su tema Ladies of Tampa para Magic Mike aparece entre las 75 preseleccionadas por la Academia
75 canciones son muchos temas teniendo en cuenta que sólo cinco competirán por la estatuilla, pero ese es el listado oficial de preseleccionadas que ha publicado hoy a la academia a poco menos de un mes de conocer a todos los nominados. Entre las obras encontramos a candidatas seguras como Suddenly de Los Miserables y Song of the Lonely Mountainde El Hobbit: Un Viaje Inesperado, aunque también se ha colado alguna sorpresa como el tema de Adelle para Skyfall o la canción que ilustra esta entrada; Ladies of Tampa, de Matthew McCounaghey. Es decir, esto:
Señores académicos, el mundo necesita una actuación de Matthew en la gala de los Oscar. Con Jack Nicholson y Clint Eastwood en primera fila. Está en vuestra mano.
Os dejo el listado completo de las 75 canciones, así como algún dato más sobre las posibilidades de Magic Mike, tras el salto.
Por si lo de la nominación a la Mejor Canción os parece exagerado, hay quien dice -Matt Damon la semana pasada en el programa de Letterman, por ejemplo- que McCounaghey podría conseguir una candidatura como actor secundario por la misma película, Magic Mike, en la que interpreta a un striper veterano que piensa en la jubilación.
Sinceramente, su trabajo es de lo mejor de una cinta hasta ciento punto sorprendente pero irregular e incluso recuerda al mejor Cruise de Magnolia, pero se trata de uno de esos roles que encajan tan bien en el actor que los interpreta que es muy complicado dibujar una línea divisoria entre la persona y su trabajo.
El 10 de enero, día en el que conoceremos a todos los nominados a los Oscar, veremos si lo de McCounaghey pasa de la mera anécdota.
