Congratulations to Boyhood, winner of four Critics Choice Movie Awards: Best Picture, Best Director for Richard Linklater, Best Supporting Actress for Patricia Arquette, and Best Young Actor for Ellar Coltrane, who, as Mason, the titular boy, literally grows up on screen over the 12 years the film was shot. The Critics’ Choice Movie Awards are bestowed annually by the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) to honor the finest in cinematic achievement. The winners were announced last night, live from the Hollywood Palladium, in a show broadcast live on A&E.

Punch Brothers are featured on the cover of the latest issue of Relix magazine. The band is "an unusually well-suited union of prodigious musical talents to the point that they are frequently called a 'supergroup'— both in the austere bluegrass and classical scenes the members rose in and within the more mainstream folk/rock audiences they increasingly appeal to," writes Stacey Anderson in the cover story. "Their latest album, The Phosphorescent Blues, set for a January 27 release, marks the string quintet’s most ambitious studio effort yet ..."

The Black Keys have been nominated for a BRIT Award for International Group. The BRIT Awards 2015 ceremony will take place at London's O2 Arena on Wednesday, February 25, broadcast live in the UK on ITV. The band is up for three Grammy Awards this year, including Best Rock Album for Turn Blue. 

Congratulations to Boyhood, which has been nominated for six Academy Awards: Best Picture; Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, Richard Linklater; Best Supporting Actor, Ethan Hawke; Best Supporting Actress, Patricia Arquette; and Best Editing, Sandra Adair. Congratulations as well to Inherent Vice, which received Oscar nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson, after the Thomas Pynchon novel, and Best Costume Design, Mark Bridges. The soundtracks for both films are out now on Nonesuch Records.

Singer-songwriter Olivia Chaney has unveiled the first new music, the song "Imperfections," from her forthcoming Nonesuch Records debut album. You can hear it here. Details on the album and pre-order information are coming soon. Chaney will visit select cities in the US and Canada starting February 4.

Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette, stars of the Richard Linklater film Boyhood, were the guests on NPR's Fresh Air, talking with host Terry Gross about their roles in the groundbreaking film. "We were being offered a job no two actors had been offered before in the history of acting," says Hawke, "to get to create a character and use time as our clay, to shape somebody the way life shapes us." Hear the interview here.

The line-up for the 2015 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival has been announced, and included are three artists familiar to readers of the Nonesuch Journal: Robert Plant, Punch Brothers, and Rhiannon Giddens. The four-day festival takes place in Manchester, Tennessee, and runs June 11–14. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, January 17, at noon ET.

Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of "Inside Llewyn Davis" is out now on Nonesuch Records. The two-disc collection captures a one-night-only concert held at New York City’s Town Hall in 2013 to celebrate the music of the Coen brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis, featuring live performances by icons and rising stars of folk and Americana. They sang "in pitch perfect tone that left an oft-awestruck audience silently stunned," says the Los Angeles Times, "then vocally thrilled." The Independent on Sunday says it's "as excellent as you would expect with surprising collaborations and stately performances breathing new life into old songs and old fire into new ones."

Punch Brothers have released a new song, "My Oh My," from their forthcoming, T Bone Burnett–produced album, The Phosphorescent Blues. The song is available as an instant download with pre-orders of the new album, which is due out January 27, with the vinyl to follow on February 24. Listen to the song, as well as the two other instant-download tracks, "I Blew It Off" and Julep," here. Punch Brothers kicks off a brief tour of Ireland and the United Kingdom next week.

Nonesuch Records, which released the soundtrack to Richard Linklater's film Boyhood last year, has now digitally released two additional songs written specifically for the movie by Ethan Hawke: “Split the Difference (Daddy’s Lullaby),” performed by Hawke and Charlie Sexton, and “Ryan’s Song,” performed by Hawke with Ellar Coltrane, Lorelei Linklater, and Jennifer Tooley. “When Rick [Linklater] and I decided to make my character a songwriter," Hawke told the Hollywood Reporter, "he gave me the challenge to write some songs for the movie. We didn’t know at that time whether they would be in the movie or not, but it allowed me to take some time and get into character … If it had been a normal movie I never would have been able to come up with two songs, but I had 12 years!” 

Congratulations to the cast and crew of the film Boyhood, which won three Golden Globe Awards, presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in Los Angeles last night: Best Motion Picture, Drama; Best Director for Richard Linklater; and Best Supporting Actress for Patricia Arquette. On Friday, Boyhood was nominated for five BAFTA Film Awards: Best Film; Best Director and Original Screenplay for Linklater; Best Supporting Actress for Arquette; and Best Support Actor, Ethan Hawke.
