Otis "Bad" Blake

As down and out as you could possibly get, Otis “Bad” Blake (Jeff Bridges) was a fallen Country Music star whose star had long since faded. A severe alcoholic, Blake was still a talent, and in “Crazy Heart” we see his rocky path to redemption. The acclaimed film saw Jeff Bridges win the Best Actor Oscar and considering the talents who collaborated on the music for the film (T-Bone Burnett for example) this could be a strong underdog for the Hall.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Crazy Heart (2009)
Actor:
Jeff Bridges
Songs you might remember:
Hold on You
Why you should vote for him:
An Academy Award winning performance should always be considered a threat.
Why you should not vote for him:
Once again, we ask is this nominee too Country for what we called this Hall of Fame?

A rare candidate in that this comes from no TV show or Film, Limozeen is from the Web Series, Homestar Runner. The band, is the favorite of Strong Bad, a major character on the series and emulates the Hair Metal genre. Does anything that is only on the Web qualify? Considering their vast fictitious history, it is not out of the realm of possibility.
The Bullet Points:
Web Series Appeared:
Homestar Runner (2000-)
Actors:
Mike Chapman (Larry Palaroncini, Vocals)
Matt Chapman (Gary Palaroncini, Lead Guitar)
Perry Chapman (Perry Palaroncini, Bass)
Matt Chapman (Mary Palaroncini, Vocals)
Songs you might remember:
Because its Midnite
Why you should vote for them:
A lot of thought went into this creation.
Why you should not vote for them:
Does anything that does not appear on TV or Film matter enough?

What is it about faded alcoholic Country Music stars that Hollywood likes to churn out ever so often? We have another entry from that genre with Gwyneth Paltrow, fresh off her box office bomb, Duets, which told us she could sing, but also told us that we didn’t care. It is not this movie was bad, it was just we had seen it all before and done better.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Country Strong (2010)
Actor:
Gwyneth Paltrow
Songs you might remember:
Country Strong
Why you should vote for her:
Paltrow really can sing.
Why you should not vote for her:
If you want to vote for an alcoholic Country Singer, you can do better.

Hep Alien

We may have not been a huge fan of the Gilmore Girls (seriously, did you ever notice that everyone at the show talks in the same rapid cadence?) but the show did give us a solid candidate in Hep Alien. Formed by Lanie Kim, the band would perform cover songs and would eventually play Seventh Day Adventist Churches and have former Skid Row front man, Sebastian Bach play a role in the band. This might be a dark horse candidate; providing fans of the Gilmore Girls visit our website.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Gilmore Girls (2000-07)
Actors:
Keiko Agena (Lane Kim, Drums)
Adam Brody (Dave Rygalski, Guitar)
Brian Fuller (John Cabrera, Bass)
Todd Lowe (Zack Van Gerbig, Guitar and Vocals)
Gil (Sebastian Bach, Guitar)
Songs you might remember:

Why you should vote for them:
This was a well like part of a successful show.
Why you should not vote for them:
Were they really any good?
