Madonna's next foray into film direction, the royal love story "W.E.", picked up a pair of Golden Globe nominations Thursday morning, including best original score and best original song, for the star's new track "Masterpiece."
The singer's slowed-down, moody ballad features simplified production reminiscent of her sound in the 1990s, while the lyrics lean on the emotional side and tie into the film's love story. "And I'm right by your side," Madonna sings in the chorus. "Even deep in the night, I stand in front of the masterpiece."

Starring James D'Arcy and Andrea Riseborough as King Edward VIII and his lover Wallis Simpson, "W.E." tells the story of when the monarch abdicated his throne in 1936 to marry the twice-divorced American.
Currently sitting with a 30 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film, which won't be released wide until February, was unsurprisingly shut out of the major acting and best-film categories. The Hollywood Reporter called Madonna's second try at directing "pleasing to the eyes and ears, but lacking anything for the soul" and Salon noted it was "too nonsensical" to be considered a total disaster.
Do you think that "W.E" will win a Golden Globe??
