Robbie Williams looks to have his sights set on Oscars success with Forbidden Road – the new song from his upcoming biopic ‘Better Man’.
The film is due in December and during an after-party at the Toronto International Film Festival, during which he premiered the movie, the Rock DJ hitmaker belted out the tune.
On the track, he sings: ‘Maybe I’m never satisfied / I’ve made a lot of poor decisions/ I made no revision.
‘And I’m still trying to get it right / I’m a living contradiction, the cause of the infliction / You need to lose your mind to get back to life sometimes’ (via The Sun’s Bizarre column).
Despite sure competition from Lady Gaga‘s ‘Joker’ and Ariana Grande‘s ‘Wicked’, insiders tell the publication the She’s The One singer fancies his chances, sharing: “Robbie is excited not just for the chance to present his movie to the world, but also to have a crack at the Oscars.
“Paramount has faith in pushing the tune out to voters and promoting the track with their trailers and promos. Of course there are no guarantees, but he has a stellar reputation and a terrific ability to entertain and that could help his case.”
“Rob stands a great chance of being shortlisted at the Golden Globes, too. The voters are international and have a greater understanding of his contribution to the world of pop and long-term success.”
‘Better Man’ hits cinemas in Australia on December 26, with a wider release slated for January 17, 2025.
