Former PRCA bull rider Bingham claims Academy Award

Ryan Bingham’s brief PRCA bull riding career came nearly a generation after ProRodeo Hall of Fame bull Oscar was terrorizing competitors all over North America. Still, it can be said, the Oscar he conquered March 7, to life-changing advantage, took just as much as tenacity, perseverance and dedication to handle as any 2,000-pound bull. Even Oscar. Bingham, 28, won the Academy Award for best original song – along with T-Bone Burnett – for his work on The Weary Kind, the theme from Crazy Heart. Bingham had a short acting part in the film and performed the song on the movie’s soundtrack. Bingham told reporters backstage that he and his band (The Dead Horses) were living in a Suburban four years ago, and that his life took a sudden dramatic change when Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper handed him a script and said, “If you’re inspired to write anything, let me know.” -Press release courtesy of the PRCA
