TELEVISION GUIDE Wednesday May 23 to Tuesday May 29, 2012 Highlights this week 1. Sabrina from Portugal in action in 2007. Yes, the festival of cheese is back and SBS1 is going berko throughout the week with reports on the Eurovision Song Contest. Bad fashion, bad singing, bad hair and bad presenting, everything the kitschophile could want. This year the songmanglefest comes to us from Baku, the capital and largest city of Azerbaijan. Founded in at least the first century AD, Baku now thrives on petroleum exports. See more about Eurovision at www.sbs.com.au/eurovision. 2. Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal have to be two of the most charming and convincing characters in the biz, and they both star in the extremely popular Crazy Heart (Friday, TEN, 9.10pm), written and directed by Scott Cooper and based on the novel by Thomas Cobb. Jeff Bridges plays a down-and-out country music singer-songwriter who tries to turn his life around after beginning a relationship with a young journalist portrayed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Yes, it’s silly, but it’s the kind of pairing midlife-crisis Hollywood producers like to favour. Apparently Bridges’s character, Bad Blake, is based on a combination of Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Merle Haggard, all of whom might be acquainted with a little heavy drinking. Bridges won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance.
