PopWrap asked Anna Kendrick on her favorite music playlist to help her survive the jitters of walking the many red carpet awards show she has graced.

PopWrap: What song helps you relax after a day of trying on countless dresses?
Anna Kendrick: “Fire Department” by Be Your Own Pet. Not actually a relaxing song, but I play it as loud as I can when I get frustrated with the vanity aspects of the whole process.

PW: How about when you just need a moment to escape?
Anna: “A Ramble In St. James Park” by Michael Nyman. An absolutely gorgeous piece of music from “The Libertine” score that I fell in love with when I bought the “Man On Wire” soundtrack. This song feels like it could suspend time.

PW: Is there a song you listen to in the car to mentally prepare for the flashbulb onslaught?
Anna: “Help I’m Alive” by Metric. I’m a diehard fan of anything Emily Haines touches and this song completely speaks to how I feel before I have to step onto a red carpet.

PW: What’s your most played song right now?
Anna: “Hard Time Killing Floor Blues” by Chris Thomas King. I saw “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” again recently and this song hit me like a ton of bricks. I guess when I first saw it at 14, I was only paying attention to the girls’ songs.

PW: If one song could be played while you were actually posing on the red carpet, what would it be?
Anna: “The Boss” by James Brown. Another great song off a great soundtrack. As a film, “Black Caesar” is sort of insane but the soundtrack is amazing. This song makes me feel more confident that I ever really should

PW: What’s the most surprising song on your iPod?
Anna: “Get It Together” by The Beastie Boys. Perhaps not so surprising that it’s on my iPod but that I’ve had it memorized since I was 13, an age I thought anything my older brother was listening to was worthy of vigilant study.

PW: We’ve previously talked about what a talented singer you are, so, if you could play any musician in a biopic, who would it be?
Anna: Laura Nyro. She died young of ovarian cancer. Possibly my all time favorite artist.
