Isaac is up for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for his critically acclaimed role in Inside Llewyn Davis.

In the film, directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, Isaac stars as the film’s title character, Llewyn Davis, a singer-songwriter who navigates New York’s folk music scene in the 1960s.

It’s the latest nod this awards season for Isaac…

In the music category, Robert Lopez and his wife and writing partner Kristen Anderson Lopez have been nominated for Best Original Song – Motion Picture to penning “Let It Go,” the power ballad from Disney’s latest animated film Frozen. The song is performed by Idina Menzel during the film
and Demi Lovato in the closing credits.

Last but certainly not least, Sofia Vergara has earned her fourth consecutive Golden Globe nomination for her laughtastic role on ABC’s Modern Family.

Demi Lovato is bringing her new Disney track to life…

The 21-year-old part-Mexican American singer and The X Factor judge has released the official music video for “Let It Go,” one of the songs featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming Disney animated film Frozen.

Running nearly four minutes, the video is simple but sweet. It features footage of the film, as well as scenes of Lovato belting out the inspirational song while playing the piano and wandering around a large abandoned home.

In the film, “Let It Go” is originally performed by Idina Menzel, who voices Elsa the Snow Queen in Frozen.

The song will be included in the movie’s soundtrack, which is set to arrive on Monday, November 25.

The film is based on Hans Christian Anderson‘s fairly tale, The Snow Queen. It tells the tale of two princesses, one of whom has the power to create snow and ice. After her power gets out of hand, she goes into hiding. Her fearless sister Anna, voiced by Kristen Bell, later embarks on a journey to find her in order to save their kingdom.

The movie opens in U.S. theaters on November 27.

Demi Lovato is returning to her Disney roots…

The 21-year-old part-Mexican American singer/actress and former Disney Channel star has released “Let It Go,” a single appearing on the soundtrack to Disney’s upcoming animated film Frozen.

“Let It Go,” which will be performed in the film by voice actress/Broadway vet Idina Menzel, gets a pop-rock makeover befitting of Lovato’s oeuvre, with guitar flourishes, orchestral punches and lyrics about triumphantly moving on.

“Up here in the cold thin air, I finally can breathe/I know I left a life behind, but I’m too relieved to grieve,” Lovato sings on the track.

The Frozen soundtrack will arrive in stores on November 25, right before the animated film is released on November 27.

Earlier this year, the X Factor judge contributed the track “Heart By Heart” to the soundtrack for The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.

Lovato is also preparing to kick off her Neon Lights tour next February, with Fifth Harmony, Cher Lloyd and Little Mix as support.
