Scott Cooper's movie Crazy Heart got two Oscar in 2009, It's a movie with the soul, no pathos, no ostentatious patriotism, just as it is. Jeff Bridges plays such a collective role of the classics of the Nashville Sound. Forty years ago, while still a boy, he went into the army in the end "The Last Picture Show," now he's back with the "Oscar". There are, of course, the obvious parallels with his main "pop-role" of Big Lebowski, but it looks like he selects the role and playing style and maintains this line till the final credits.

Starring Jordin Sparks in the role of Sparkle, sounds like an ideal combination. Sparks was named the winner of season 6 on American Idol in 2007 and her career has never looked so promising since. In what may be her final acting role, Whitney Houston plays Sparkle's mom, a single mother with high hopes for her daughter's singing career. The sing together along with two sisters and absolutely sound like the Supremes did back in the 1960's.n original film titled Sparkle depicted a family of three sisters who formed a girl group from Harlem in the 50's but this remake centers them in Detroit in the 60's and is a far better tribute to the Supremes than Dreamgirls ever could be.
