AND THE WINNER IS:

RICKI AND THE FLASH, “COLD ONE” (MUSIC AND LYRICS BY JENNY LEWIS & JONATHAN RICE)

These are the first wins and nominations for Jenny Lewis & Jonathan Rice for their collaboration of the original song “Cold One” from the film Ricki and the Flash.

While I had major problems with Ricki and the Flash one thing that I really took away from the film was the scene in which Meryl plays on a guitar the song “Cold One” to her clearly troubled daughter and ex husband. This moment nearly makes up for the rest of the average feature just how powerful it is in how simple it is. Streep just rocks the song with ease and it also is a plus that this is actually a great song that Streep is being allowed to perform in the film. Cold One firstly is a great song and it plays so well in the actual film that I couldn’t help but vote for this song from the team of Lewis and Rice.
