• Trent Reznor Likes Oscar Nominations Way Better Than Winning a Grammy

    Trent Reznor's film composition career has been a huge success so far, and he enjoys the praise from the movie industry more than the awards he has collected as a member of Nine Inch Nails. He would rather win an Oscar than a Grammy."Having won a couple Grammys for stupid s--t — best metal performance — it's hard to feel good about the integrity of that," Reznor told "The Hollywood Reporter" recently. "If that's how much you're paying attention to what you're giving out, why should I think that really means anything?"Reznor has never been a fan of the awards show, but that relationship worsened in January when his show-closing performance at the Grammys — with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac — was cut short for a commercial.

At Gary Richard's Hard Day of the Dead, the two hosted their own stage with a selection of hand-picked artists and then closed out the night with a rare, two-hour, back-to-back set.

They brought on some friends, including Eekkoo, Jeremy Olander, Alesia and the mysterious and much-hyped ZHU with them Saturday.
