‘Les Misérables’ claims its first tech award from a guild this season, earning accolades for its Sound Mixing from the Cinema Audio Society. Does Tom Hooper’s big-screen adaptation of the “most beloved musical of all-time” have the Sound Mixing Oscar in the bag?
I’ve seen “Les Miserables” on Broadway probably a dozen times throughout its initial 16 year run and short revival. I was there the month when it opened, where I was privileged to hear Colm Wilkinson’s “Bring Him Home.” I saw country star Gary Morris later in the same Valjean role, singing with a precision, a depth and an ache I didn’t know he possessed (though I was a fan of his recorded work)…
Though the reviews have been all over the board, it’s hard to deny that Les Miserables is a weeper (I speak from experience, friends). Case in point, this video of a son who filmed his parents’ tearful reaction on the ride home from a screening.

Oscar season remains in full-swing, as the Producers Guild of America has announced its nominations, giving a substantial boost to films that had been losing momentum in the Oscar race, while injecting new life into the contest with some unexpected choices. The TV nominations are a damn fine group too!

A gracious Russell Crowe responded to Adam Lambert on Twitter today, after Adam slammed the cast of Les Miserables for being actors “pretending” to be singers.
Russell Crowe = Class. Adam Lambert = Hmmm…

Adam Lambert just slammed Les Miserables and the cast on Twitter. He said that they were “pretending” to be singers. He goes on to suggest that they should have cast “actors who actually sound good.”
Oh dear. I really hate it when Adam Lambert tries to attract attention like this. It wreaks of desperation! Something must be going on with his label. I’ll e-mail my contacts to see if they are planning to drop him soon. There must be something happening for him to just go off like this without thinking of the repercussions.
Here’s “One Day More” from Les Miserables!
EMERGHERD!!! Even Russell Crowe’s awful singing cannot stop the epicness of this.
Goosebumps! This is so epic!!! I cannot wait for the movie!!!

I hated the recent incarnations of the show on Broadway, but right now the idea of seeing this on the big screen is making me relive the magic. “I had a dream my life would be!”
