From another in the category of “we guess this qualifies” we have Gerry and Cookie Fleck (Eugene Levy and Catharine O’Hara) who were two of the eccentric characters of “Best in Show”; a quirky comedy about dog breeders who gather to compete in a dog show. Near the end of the mockumentary, we learn that the Flecks recorded terrier themed songs, though we can’t imagine they sold very well.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Best in Show (2000)
Actors:
Eugene Levy (Gerry Fleck)
Catharine O’Hara (Cookie Fleck)
Songs you might remember:
God Loves a Terrier
Why you should vote for them:
Levy and O’Hara is worth a little SCTV love.
Why you should not vote for them:
A thirty-second blurb does not a Hall of Fame entry make.

Georgia Flood

In an Oscar nominated performance, Mare Winningham was the titular character (though not the lead) of Georgia Flood, a successful folk singer. Her music was good, though she was not the tragic figure that so many celluloid musicians are shown as; that was her sister (Jennifer Jason Leigh). She was the adjusted happy one, and the dynamic with her troubled sister was far more interesting then the music she had in the film.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Georgia (1995)
Actor:
Mare Winningham
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for her:
This in Oscar nominated performance; there aren’t that many of them here.
Why you should not vote for her:
She was a successful musician; but it was the music of her sister that we saw more of.

George Webber

Dudley Moore finally struck gold in his early 40’s as the lead in Blake Edwards’ “10”. He played composer, George Webber, who at the onset of his 42nd birthday acquired the midlife crisis, which sets the film in motion. The movie gave us the iconic scene with Bo Derek in cornrows, made Dudley Moore an instant sex symbol (and hero for short average looking men), but it did not give us any insight into Webber’s music which though was irrelevant to the film, is relevant here.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
10 (1979)
Actor:
Dudley Moore
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
Dudley was great in this film; actually, this may have been his best work.
Why you should not vote for him:
The fact that he was a composer was irrelevant to the movie.

There was no way we couldn’t include this after Bryan Cranston’s performance in Breaking Bad which could be the greatest television show in history. In a 2003 episode, Hal (Cranston) and his African American Poker buddies form a folk style band where they play the Elk Lodge. We don’t remember why it occurred, but it was humorous which was what you would expect from a Hal plotline on Malcolm in the Middle.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Malcolm in the Middle (2003)
Actors:
Bryan Cranston (Hal)
We don’t know who else
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
Only for the Breaking Bad reason.
Why you should not vote for them:
They were not good.
