Taylor Swift leads AMA nominees The nominees for the 2015 American Music Awards have been announced, and a talented upstart from Reading, Pennsylvania, named Taylor Swift leads the pack with six nominations.

Honored for music from her smash album “1989,” the multiplatinum pop queen snagged nods for artist of the year, song of the year (“Blank Space”), collaboration of the year (for “Bad Blood” featuring Kendrick Lamar) and favorite female artist, pop rock.

Canadian R&B singer the Weeknd and beatboxing folk rocker Ed Sheeran earned five nominations each, and dozens of other creators of big-ticket commercial art including country hunk Luke Bryan, doughnut-licking pop star Ariana Grande, bassobsessed vocalist Meghan Trainor and Long Beach rapper Wiz Khalifi also made the cut.

Unlike the Grammys, whose nominees and winners are chosen by an elite cabal of industry workers and players, the American Music Awards is the year’s biggest musical popularity contest. It was created for ABC by “American Bandstand” host Dick Clark in 1973 as competition to the Grammys after that show jumped networks. Decades later it has evolved into a fan-friendly foil to its more prestigious counterpart.

Last year, for example, the rapper Iggy Azalea earned six nominations.

Nominees for new artist of the year include Fetty Wap, Sam Hunt, Tove Lo, Walk The Moon and the Weeknd.

MOVIES NEW THIS WEEK You could write brief descriptions of any 100 relatively significant chapters in American history, toss ‘em all into one of those handcranked raffle cylinders, pluck out one entry, and I’ll bet Steven Spielberg could turn that event into an Oscar-bait motion picture experience.

To wit: “BRIDGE OF SPIES.” Some 40 years into his career and still a master of his craft (a few camera moves and special effects moments in this film are simply dazzling), Spielberg has taken an important but largely forgotten and hardly action-packed slice of the Cold War and turned it into a gripping character study and thriller that feels a bit like a John Le Carre adaptation if Frank Capra were at

The La Conner Marina / Port of Skagit Presents

the controls.

“Bridge of Spies” is set mostly in the mid- and late 1950s, when the Cold War between the Americans and the Soviets was heating up — and the East Germans, filled with resentment toward the U.S. and loathing for the Russians, were hell-bent on finding their own place at the superpower table. On some days a global nuclear war seemed more likely than not.

We open on the Brooklyn of 1957, where a seemingly meek man of late middle age quietly goes about his daily routine, which involves painting portraits and, oh yes, working as a mole for the Soviets. In a tightly choreographed and perfectly paced sequence set in the subway system, the man eludes a battery of serious FBI men in serious dark coats and hats — but only temporarily, as it turns out.

Eventually they show up at his door, put him in cuffs and turn the place upside down in search of evidence.

The man is one Rudolf

Abel (played by the British theater actor Mark Rylance in a performance of great subtlety, dignity and droll humor). There’s little doubt Abel’s a Soviet spy, but he will be given a trial so America can show the world that everyone in the United States is entitled to a defense, even an illegal immigrant working to help bring the country to its knees.

Enter Tom Hanks, in full modern-day Jimmy Stewart mode, as James Donovan, a genial family man and successful insurance attorney who’s almost always the smartest man in the room and doesn’t mind if others in his presence perceive otherwise. Donovan seems an unlikely choice to defend Abel — but he was a prosecutor at Nuremberg, he’s a well-respected legal presence, and he’ll mount a capable defense, even though it will make him one of the most despised men in America and of course there’s zero chance of actually winning the case.

The U.S. government and the great majority of Americans want Abel put to death — but Donovan argues passionately and successfully for an extended prison sentence, arguing Abel could be of great value in case an American soldier/ spy is caught by the Soviets and there’s a chance of a prisoner swap.

Which is exactly what happens.

In a heart-thumping sequence that reminds us Spielberg is one of the godfathers of cool action sequences with cutting-edge effects, American U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers (an excellent Austin Stowell) is blasted out of the skies by a Soviet fighter, ejecting just in time to see his plane explode as he parachutes to safety — and captivity.

Now the U.S. government has another assignment for civilian attorney James Donovan. They’d like him to go to Berlin, which has recently been split by a concrete wall, and negotiate a trade.

We shift from the rain-

soaked film noir streets of New York to bleak, snowblanketed Berlin, where Donovan goes deep into the rabbit hole in a series of increasingly convoluted and sometimes comically bizarre adventures as he attempts to secure a trade of Abel for Powers — along with an American student recently detained by the Germans.

(The Coen brothers did an extensive polish on the screenplay, and their handiwork seems most evident in the Berlin scenes.)

Nursing drinks while stating his case with various Soviet and German officials who aren’t even honest about their actual titles, fighting off a cold, Donovan keeps telling everyone he just wants to get this thing done so he can go home and crawl into his own bed.

Such fine and measured work from Hanks, who is as good as anyone has ever been at playing men of great integrity and warm hearts who aren’t to be trifled with when the heat is on. Don’t mistake the smile and the

friendly handshake for weakness.

Spielberg and his superb cinematographer Janusz Kaminski deliver some excellent visual callbacks, as when Donovan looks out the window of a train and sees Brooklyn kids climbing fences separating their backyards — and is reminded of the barbed wire-crowned Berlin Wall.

The supporting cast, including Amy Ryan as Donovan’s wife and Scott Shepherd as a CIA operative who becomes Donovan’s unofficial partner in espionage, is first-rate.

Hanks will be in the conversation for best actor, Rylance will almost certainly be nominated for best supporting actor, and when the titles of the five-plus films nominated for best picture are announced, it will be a surprise if “Bridge of Spies” doesn’t make the cut.

142 minutes. Rated: PG-13 (for some violence and brief strong language).HHHH

360-629-0514 — Show times subject to change October of 1941. Some of the actors — among them Gong Li and Ken Watanabe — are quite good, and the production values are impressive, but the mystery is muddled and the romance is tepid.

Drama, R, 105 minutes. HH “Sicario” — In examining the dominance of drugs in our culture, Denis Villeneuve’s complex, sometimes sickeningly violent “Sicario” mixes big-picture issues, grindhouse pulp and pure, rough entertainment, bolstered by an excellent ensemble cast led

by Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin. This is one of the best movies of the year. Crime action, R, 121 minutes. HHHH “Steve Jobs” — As can be said of most Apple products, this biopic of the tech visionary is a wonder to behold — despite a few irritating glitches. In an eccentric storytelling choice, screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and director

Danny Boyle place the plot points in three distinctive, highly impressionistic acts preceding moments when Jobs (Michael Fassbender, in a mesmerizing turn) introduces the Next Big Thing.

Biography, R, 122 minutes.

HHH1⁄2 “Straight Outta Compton” — The early dreams, the big breaks and the in-fighting are told to great effect in F. Gary Gray’s enthralling, energized tribute to N.W.A. Also something of a docudrama about Los Angeles in the wake of the Rodney King verdict, this is one of the better musical biopics of the last 20 years. Music biography, R, 147 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “The Intern” — Despite the high-concept premise — retired exec (Robert De Niro) interns for e-commerce mogul (Anne Hathaway) — “The Intern” is a lovely comfort movie. De Niro and Hathaway mesh in terrific

fashion and deliver utterly charming performances.

Comedy, PG-13, 121 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “The Martian” — A visual stunner, “The Martian” also is a hopeful love letter to science and math, American resolve, the power of friendship and international unity.

And it features Matt Damon giving one of his best performances as a botanist stranded on Mars and using all his ingenuity to establish communications and stay alive. Sci-fi adventure, 1 PG-13, 141 minutes. HHH ⁄2 “The Walk” — While it doesn’t live up to the brilliant 2008 documentary “Man on Wire,” this solid fictionalized version of Philippe Petit’s illegal 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers boasts breathtaking visuals and a charming lead performance by Joseph GordonLevitt. Biographical adventure, PG, 123 minutes. HHH

ALEX G, “Beach Music” — Things are looking up for Alex Giannascoli. He built a rep as an underground songwriter of note with a series of self-released bedroom recordings leading up to last year’s stellar “DSU.” Now he’s in the big leagues with “Beach Music,” the prolific 22-year-old’s seventh album, but his first for major indie player Domino. “Beach Music” retains the approachable, dreamy aesthetic that marked his previous recordings, with a sharper focus and the same knack for melodious, fuzzed-out singersongwriter pop that recalls his main influence, Elliott Smith.

Don’t let the noisy opening track throw you: This is pretty, bewitching stuff, from the childlike “Brite Boy” and the shimmering, inward-looking “Bug” to the rapturous “In Love,” which sounds like the result of the South Philly songwriter’s going on a late-night Chet Baker jag.

And “Selling Out” is a fleet-footed look at pop culture’s universality.

Sheik’s touch of Broadway colors the whodunit of “Acquaintance” and the cause-and-effect of “Avalanche” in an album both edgy and elegant. n A.D. Amorosi, The Philadelphia Inquirer

ERROLL GARNER, “The Complete Concert by the Sea: Recorded Live in Carmel, California September 19, 1955” — Put this album on and let it make you happy. In 1955, “Concert by the Sea,” 11 selections from a gig by pianist Erroll Garner, bassist Eddie Calhoun, and drummer Denzil Best, was released, selling some 200,000 units and establishing Garner as a concert favorite.
