10. In the film "Crazy Heart" which Oscar winner sang the following lyrics? "I've been blessed And I've been cursed All my lies have been unrehearsed..."

Answer: Jeff Bridges

The song was called "Hold On You" and Jeff Bridges sang the song as the character Bad Blake, a country-western singer with a history of hard drinking, hard living and hard lying. Mr. Bridges won a Best Actor Oscar for that 2009 film "Crazy Heart." While his character may not have given too much philosophical or psychological analysis to his own lying, the actor Jeff Bridges has some very thoughtful insights into lying: "Lies imply the truth, and the truth, as far as I can tell, is such a subjective kind of thing. Our goals for telling our version of the truth and why we lie, sometimes we'll think our lying is for the common good-and often it can be."
