We are proud to be associated with the 2010 Golden Globe-winning film Grey Gardens. Rachel Portman (Bucks Music Group) wrote the score for the film. Grey Gardens took home two Golden Globes this year: BEST MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION, and BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION.
Grey Gardens is based on Albert and David Maysles’ 1975 documentary about “Big Edie” and her daughter, “Little Edie,” relatives of Jackie Kennedy Onassis who were discovered living in squalor on Long Island in the early 1970s.
Our artists are taking up plenty of real estate on the 2009 World Music. Here’s a sampling, taken from the top 50 of 853 nominated records:
Congratulations to all these honored artists.
A-Train is pleased to announce our nominations for the 52nd Annual GRAMMY® Awards!
