Critic’s Choice Awards: Radiohead Guitarist Wins Critics Choice Best Score, Vedder Leaves Empty-Handed (But Probably Got a Good Swag Bag)

1/8/08, 11:15 am EST

If and when Radiohead plays Los Angeles, guitarist Jonny Greenwood should schedule in a visit to Snoop Dogg’s mansion. At last night’s picket-free Critics Choice Awards, after Greenwood’s absentee Best Score win for his work on Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood, Snoop Dogg (with co-presenter Feist at his side) alerted the audience that “Jonny Greenwood couldn’t be here tonight, so we accept this award on his behalf.” We can already see Snoop using the crystalline-monolithic award as a paperweight for his rolling papers. One noteworthy artist who managed to attend the ceremony was Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, who was nominated for Best Song for “Guaranteed,” from Sean Penn’s Into The Wild. Sadly, Vedder lost out to Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova’s “Falling Slowly” (from Once). Either way, both Vedder and Greenwood can expect to be invited to many ceremonies during this year’s awards season, with Vedder already having been nominated for Golden Globes for Best Original Score and Best Song for his Into The Wild contributions.

And hopefully Eddie Vedder will have an unfortunate run-in with a wood chipper!

Got the There Will Be Blood soundtrack. It sounds pretty derivative to me. Got In Rainbows, It sounds pretty promising on the first listen, but Radiohead records usually require an ear adjustment period. Anything has to better than that Kid A outtake piece of shit Amnesiac!

the most important thing is, no matter who is going to win the other awards, that there are some very talented musicians in the game. With Johny Greenwood, Glen Hansaard, Marketa Irglova and Eddie Vedder, we as the audience, have already won. I am looking forward to seeing those gifted artists in the cinema. Thanks for that.
