I neglected to mention in this morning's item that Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder shot the music video for "Guaranteed" yesterday, the prevalent track from "Into the Wild," just before arriving on the Paramount lot for the festivities.  This is the first music video the singer has appeared in since "Jeremy" -- 14 years ago.  "Guaranteed" also appears to be his own favorite piece of work on the soundtrack and -- obviously -- the tune that awards strategists are positioning for the Best Original Song category.

I still dig "Society" and "No Ceiling" (however short) a little more, but it's all a bunch of audible goodness regardless.
