Best road trip songs

The segregation-era road-trip drama "Green Book" was crowned best picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Sunday, handing Hollywood's top award to a film seen as a feel-good throwback by some and ridiculed as an outdated inversion of "Driving Miss Daisy" by others. In a year where Hollywood could have made history by bestowing best picture on Netflix ("Roma") or Marvel ("Black Panther") for the first time, the motion picture academy instead threw its fullest support behind a traditional interracial buddy tale that proved as popular as it was divisive. But Peter Farrelly's "Green Book" weathered criticism that it was retrograde and inauthentic to triumph over more acclaimed films and bigger box-office successes. It was an unexpected finale to a brisk, hostless ceremony that was awash in historic wins for diversity, including Spike Lee's first competitive Oscar. More women and more individual black nominees won than ever before. The Oscars otherwise spread awards around for Ryan Coogler's … [Read more...] about In an Upset, ‘Green Book’ Wins Best Picture at Oscars

Mc­Mul­lan, however, it was an experience that just might carry him to the top of the pop charts.Last year, McMullan released his first solo CD, a self-titled collection of catchy, lyric-driven pop tunes. The CD’s first single, “Law School,” has received critical acclaim and a respectable level of airplay on college stations across the country.“I used to be charming, but then instead/I went to law school,” he sings. “I used to be carefree and partially sane/until I went to law school/And graduated from law school/And I learned a whole lot about life in law school.”But this isn’t McMullan’s first foray into the music biz.

NEW YORK — Thunder bolt and lightning rocked the 76th Golden Globes where a string of upsets culminated with the Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” winning best picture, drama, over another movie about musicians: Bradley Cooper’s much more heavily favored “A Star Is Born.” “A Star Is Born” came into Sunday’s ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, as the presumed heavyweight and Oscar favorite. But Cooper’s remake went home with just one award, for the song “Shallow.” Instead, the night’s final two awards went to “Bohemian Rhapsody” — the popular but poorly reviewed drama about Queen’s frontman, a movie that wrapped after jettisoning its director, Bryan Singer — and best actor-winner Rami Malek for his full-bodied, prosthetic teeth-aided performance as Mercury. “Thank you to Freddie Mercury for giving me the joy of a lifetime,” said … [Read more...] about Mamma Mia! ‘Rhapsody’ upsets ‘Star Is Born’ at Globes
