Eddie Vedder's award push

The video for Eddie Vedder's "Guaranteed," from the Sean Penn-directed "Into the Wild," hit the Web on Monday after making its world premiere on a popular video channel.

The song has already been nominated for a Grammy and a Golden Globe, but Paramount Vantage clearly has designs on an Oscar, releasing the clip just before Oscar voting is to get underway.

Vedder already gave an intimate performance for Hollywood VIPs, but Pearl Jam has shied away from making music videos, making this clip perhaps the bigger surprise. As was reported earlier, the video was shot on the Paramount lot, and was directed by Marc Rocco ("Murder in the First").

Take a look -- it's a relatively restrained clip that gets a bit odd in its final few seconds.

Watch little Eddie Vedder soar:
