While the song that won would not have been my first choice, the guys that
won were so excited and I don't think they could believe it. I was glad to see
them later on being interviewed with their families and their parents were so
proud. They're probably still on cloud nine.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Oscars 2006
Kirby and JR both raise valid points about the Oscar for Best
Song.
Should it be music that's an integral part of the movie or
a good
tune? If you look at Oscar's history in this,
it's been one, both or
neither. Hard to imagine Dr. Zhivago without
Somewhere My Love or
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with no
Raindrops Keep Fallin' on
My Head. And what about High Noon and Do
Not Forsake Me, Oh My
Darlin'? We hear some songs frequently as easy
listening but generally
don't know where they came from without looking
them up, as I had to
do. You'll Never Know (Hello Frisco,
Hello) Thanks for the Memory
(The Big Broadcast of 1938) Call Me
Irresponsible (Papa's Delicate
Condition) or even I Just Called to Say I
Love You (The Woman in Red)
Given the choices this year, maybe the voters
made the best of what
they had in choosing something that was important to
the movie as well
as an extremely popular kind of music. The songs
chosen by student
performers in just about any high school talent show can
prove just how
popular.
And who's to say what's good and what
isn't? Some songs are
definitely more hummable but it comes down to
personal taste in the
end.
