"Bound To You" gains more oscar buzz!

I’ve already stated my qualified admiration for Steven Antin’s “Burlesque,” likely the only live-action musical angling for a spot in this year’s Best Original Song race. Or two spots, given that we already featured Cher’s deliriously kitsch Diane Warren power ballad “You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me” a couple of weeks ago.
Today, it’s Christina Aguilera’s turn to bust her lungs with a nine-octave belter from the film that she herself co-wrote — so while we’re unlikely to be mentioning her name much in the Best Actress race, Xtina could yet add “Academy Award nominee” to her résumé.
The song is something of an anomaly in the gaudy, thrust-heavy production: a stately, classically arranged torch ballad that sounds rather like an offcut from Aguilera’s retro-styled 2006 album “Back to Basics.” (It’s more likely, however, to be an offshoot of her 2010 release “Bionic,” in which the song’s co-writers Sia Furler and Samuel Dixon had a heavy hand.)
The song, a melodramatic expression of romantic devotion, is performed live midway through the film as Aguilera’s character Ali realizes the depth of her feelings for Cam Gigandet’s beefcake bartender — though their relationship is so incidental to the film’s narrative development that the passion on display feels a little out of sync. As if realizing this, Antin takes a cue from Rob Marshall and stages the performance in heightened music-video style, slightly awkwardly spliced with stock montage shots of cute-couple frolicking.
It’s not as melodic or as rousing as the Cher number, which also had a clearer narrative context, so if you were to bet on one of the tracks making it, that would be it. But it’s a well-crafted and forcefully sung bit of pop balladry, and given the branch’s noted preference for songs performed on screen, both could well make the cut — especially if voters have as much goofy fun watching “Burlesque” as I did.

An original song consists of words and music, both of which are original and written specifically for the motion picture. There must be a clearly audible, intelligible, substantive rendition (not necessarily visually presented) of both lyric and melody, used in the body of the motion picture or as the first music cue in the end credits.
That final bit is key as of late. Songs that happen to be used in some organic way within a film tend to have a leg up in this category because of the way contenders are viewed: via clips of their usage. Closing credits tracks are not immediately out of the hunt, as the above notes, but it’s fair to say that unless the credits are in some way a part of the overall film’s experience (like, say, “WALL-E”), they’re at a disadvantage.
Nevertheless, a song like Bruce Springsteen’s un-nominated “The Wrestler” from the film of the same name has more of an emotional impact starting up on black after the film’s somewhat ambiguous ending, so the rules are still problematic. But I’ll refer you to rule 16 IV B, C, D and E for more on the odd, arbitrary process. To say the least, musicals are generally a good bet due to this recent shift.
