When the Academy Awards nominations drop on Monday, fans of British singer Celeste will have a keen eye on the best song category.
Her poignant and soul-stirring ballad Hear My Voice appears at the end of director Aaron Sorkin’s historical legal drama The Trial of the Chicago 7. The track has already made the (rather long) shortlist of this year’s potential nominees, as well as receiving Golden Globes recognition.
But it almost didn’t make it into the movie at all, let alone the awards season.
Until the end of post-production last summer, Sorkin, it transpires, was totally unaware the film’s composer Daniel Pemberton had been scheming with Celeste behind his back… in the best possible way.
