Well, American Idol 2010 is off to a, well, start. So far I really haven’t been all that impressed with this years crop, minus a few. (Which I have a feeling not many have, seeing as we haven’t posted much about it on the front page.) I do like “Big Mike” Lynche, Lilly Scott, Lee DeWyze, and Katelyn Epperly. In fact, I thought the judges were way damn harsh on Katelyn and her choice of “Scientist” by Cold Play. I actually loved it. However, none of the contestants have blown me away just yet, except Crystal Bowersox. Of all of them, she is the ultimate artist, and definitley deserves the win already. Mind you, one could come from behind and have an amazing night. I do expect to see some amazing moments from Lilly Scott for sure, and hopefully, Lee DeWyze with his great voice will have an amazing song pick at some point to highlight that, but I still give the win to Crystal. She is authentic as hell, and this writer would purchase her album today. Here is a treat. This is an original tune of Crystal’s for you to enjoy. Many thanks to Yak member “TheArtistFormerlyKnownAs” for finding this gem out there on the web. Again, when should we expect the album? I wish it were yesterday.

It’s been a long time coming, but as a huge fan of Jeremy Renner’s, I can tell you that it’s been a very frustrating wait.
Jeremy Renner was nominated in the category of Best Actor this morning, for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards, because of his stunning portrayal of Staff Sgt William James in Kathryn Bigelow’s (also nom’d this morning and will be the first female to win a Best Director Oscar) gut-wrenchingly good “The Hurt Locker”. This man is a truly undiscovered gem in Hollywood, the paradigm of underappreciated talent in Hollywood, a Hollywood oversaturated with bubble gum actors and actresses who get mainstream attention for talent, when compared to this man, is like stacking up a Tootsie Roll against Creme Brulee. I remember going to see 28 Weeks Later in the theater. I remember watching this character, Doyle, and wondering “Who is that guy in real life? Not only is he extremely attractive, but damn, he’s really good!”. Then I happened to catch wind of earlier works of his, such as Dahmer, 12 and Holding (my personal all time favorite movie), and waited six hundred years to finally catch an early morning viewing of Neo Ned on Starz. Then I drove a decent distance to catch The Assasination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, just to see him in it. And each time I’d see him in a movie, it would take my breath away how talented he is and I’d wonder, “Why hasn’t Hollywood embraced this man yet? Do they not see what an asset they have in him?”. But it seems now like finally Hollywood has caught on. And watching his immediate reaction on The Today Show (and thank you to our own Mystycl for alerting me that he was on!) just shows you how genuine he is as well. This was no fake reaction. It took nearly 15 years in the industry, but finally Hollywood sees what it has. He may not win (although I hope he pulls a Sean Penn and swoops in to take it, remember how Rourke got the Globe and SAG but lost the Oscar to Penn?) but I sure hope he does! And hear me now Academy members, even if you do decide to give the award to a just as deserving Jeff Bridges, if you don’t give the film itself and it’s director those Oscars as someone on Twitter said, I will have to hurt Cameron. In 3-D. Want to discuss this? Head on into our special Oscar section here and let your voice be heard! Goooood Morning Yakksters! Stick to the Yak for the up-to-the-minute nomination announcement!
