Things for Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard continue to come up roses. Their little film went from little indie to big international deal. They won an Oscar for "Falling Slowly." Not surprisingly, their good fortune continues. Variety reports that the pair have signed a deal with Warner/Chappell Music -- part of Warner Music Group -- to get their catalog of music published.

Warner will go through all of their catalog -- not only the songs from Once, but also Hansard's work with the Frames and the music appearing on Glen and Marketa's debut album as The Swell Season. Now, to be clear, this isn't a recording contract -- it's only a publishing deal. Glen Brunman of Warner/Chappell says: "Glen's and Mar's songs have touched so many who have seen the film Once. Glen's work with the Frames we'll continue to rock, and we'll make sure that it reaches an even wider audience."

In the meantime, the duo are touring the U.S. from late April to mid-June, if you want to see them up-close and live. Good luck, Marketa and Glen!

With its concentration on the music industry, it's easy to forget that the Grammys have a few movie-related categories. They include best compilation soundtrack album, best score soundtrack album and best song written for motion picture, television or other visual media. One thing that's always odd with the Grammys, though, is how many nominees are so old. Take a look at the score/composer nominees, for example: Babel (Gustavo Santaolalla); Blood Diamond (James Newton Howard); The Departed (Howard Shore); Happy Feet (John Powell); Pan's Labyrinth (Javier Navarrete); Ratatouille (Michael Giacchino). Only the last of those films came out in 2007. But the eligibility period for the Grammys is always October of the previous year until the end of September of the current year. All but Ratatouille's soundtrack were released in October, November and December of 2006. Since the Grammy ceremony is only a couple weeks prior to the Oscars, the ancient films honored are easily seen as that much more old news (Babel won the 2007 Academy Award for score).

Happy Feet was also recognized in the best song category, for "The Song of My Heart" by Prince (who already has the best soundtrack of all time), despite its not having received an Oscar nomination. Same goes for one of its competitors, Casino Royale theme song "You Know My Name", co-written (with David Arnold) and performed by Chris Cornell. Dreamgirls' "Love You I Do", written by Siedah Garrett and Henry Krieger (performed by Jennifer Hudson) is the only overlap from last February's Oscar nominees (it lost to Melissa Etheridge's "I Need to Wake Up" from An Inconvenient Truth). The other recognized tracks, both from 2007 releases, are Eddie Vedder's "Guaranteed" from Into the Wild and Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová's duet "Falling Slowly" from Once.

Once is also a contender for best compilation soundtrack, though it faces a huge challenger in The Beatles, who are recognized for the album for the Cirque du Soleil show Love (how does that fall into this category and not the one for musical show album?) and indirectly for the soundtrack to the movie Across the Universe, which features covers of the band's tunes performed by the movie's cast. Other soundtrack nominees are retro musicals Dreamgirls and Hairspray. Sorry, fans of High School Musical 2.
