The next award I will give award could be the next part of filmmaking after all the filming is done would be for someone to write and original song for the film. The winning song writers include a first time nominee and previous winner in a TV field of my awards. The runner up in this category the uplifting song from the film “The Help“, the name of the song is The Living Proof and the vocals provided by Mary J. Blidge are just so emotional and really drive the idea of the song.

And finally the winning song is the one from the film “Albert Nobbs“, the name of the song is Lay Your Head Down sung by Sinead O’Conner, the song is written by Brian Byrne and Glenn Close. I choose this song because it was moving and really made me enjoy the ending of this subpar film.

P.S. Later I will be presenting the Sound Mixing Award
