In their infinite benevolence, Warner Bros. has created a "For Your Consideration" Website for the musical score for Gran Torino — which features the plaintive, heartfelt balladeering of grizzled, 78-year-old actor-director Clint Eastwood! Sounding not unlike Tom Waits with a punctured lung, Eastwood eschews Auto-Tune, rendering the film's title song (hear it here!) possibly the most terrific thing we've heard all week. We can't wait to see him do this live at the Oscars.
