Smells Like Alternative

Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder won a Golden Globe last night for the song “Guaranteed” from the wonderful Into The Wild soundtrack.

Although the show wasn’t aired, like most of us seriously care about watching it, the winners were announced via press conference style; and no I did not watch that either, but did check out the winners late last night to check in on Vedder.

“Guaranteed” was previously up for a Critic’s Choice Award, but lost out to “Falling Slowly” from the film Once.

Next up for Eddie and “Guaranteed” are the Grammy Awards next month, and hopefully the Academy Awards.

I’ve said before that I’m not one for award shows, it really doesn’t matter because an award won’t change my opinion of an artists; but what I enjoy about Vedder winning a Golden Globe is that he got the recognition for his great work. I’m sure that a majority of journalists voting for the winners either know little or nothing about Vedder, so they judged him by his work.

Way to Eddie on a job well done.
