Bridges didn’t need to win it for a ‘sum of the acting parts’… This one, in Crazy Heart, was that specific, deep, seamless, real. An Oscar winning performance, for a solidly Oscar-able actor. [speech transcript]

Yes, Actor Jeff Bridges Does Some Awesome Acting, And Singing, In Crazy Heart.
For another version of this same song, The Weary Kind; but performed by one of the writers of the song, Ryan Bingham: Click on this link for another post at Oscar Prep.

I will mention what a rocking good time he and Bridges made, as two country singers onstage. The scenes of where Jeff Bridges and Colin Farrell are together, singing…
These 2 videos were made by people who were in the audience during the filming of the Crazy Heart concert scenes. See the cameras and crew?
The music was great, and they both were sexy as heck.

Trailer for Crazy Heart, with lead actor Jeff Bridges as Bad Blake.

Ryan Bingham, who wrote this song called ‘The Weary Kind’, sings it in this video.

It was written by the singer, along with T-Bone Burnett.

In ‘Crazy Heart’, this song is sung by Jeff Bridges, and he does a really fine job. But I am including this here, so you may hear a different version; one by the writer, himself.
And, because Ryan Bingham’s voice has a perfectly broken sound. Listen, to hear what I mean…

Maggie Gyllenhaal Had A Few Glasses Of Champagne, Dahling…
And saw Jeff Bridges at an event…Like a gushing fan, she approached him. (Anyone who says that professional actors don’t get nervous, or daunted, has never been a professional actor…)

They have acting in common, and a double-a in both of their last names. They may also both have Acting Category, Oscar nominations this year.
