Elvis loses Academy Award to Annie Lennox/Howard Shore
Elvis loses Academy Award to Annie Lennox/Howard Shore
How could such a boring song beat Elvis AND A Kiss At The End Of The Rainbow? Or even that fun song from the French animated film.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

Well, at least Sting didn't get it, but who wants to predict that we'll see a Sting/EC co-write nominated within 5 years?
EC is still a winner of sorts: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3417875.stm

Elvis - if you don't fancy the steakhouse dinner for 10 then send it to me care of the board.
I'm here most days except weekends.
I'll also take the jewel encrusted lingerie set as it's Mrs VG's 30th birthday in a few weeks time.
See you in Bournemouth.
Cheers
VG

You must have loved the Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara reanactment of Mitch and Mickey performing "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow".
It was probably the highpoint of the show for me.
When Eugene stammered forward and stuttered into the mic: "On drums.." and turned incredulous to find no drummer. Perfect.
It should have won. I agree with you. What a beautiful simple song.

'Due to budget cuts, they were unable to actually punch out the spindle hole on the LP with two color cover. So the buyer was left to hopefully punch out the hole in the correct, balls-on dead center, or....."
....something to that affect. I laughed so hard that the people around me thought I was insane. Well, maybe.........

hey he looked good though. i don't really think i heard much of it anyway cause my mind was buzzing. here is alison krause and her shoes who just a few years ago looked like a scared little lost waif on the opry and what seems like just a few years ago seemingly angry gangly elvis floppin' around on tv and videos standing up there in one of the most gaudy plastic environments every created and lordy...
I'm not concerned about the very poor.

Well, I call me a big old geek, but I actually liked that song at least a lot better than Sting's, and it is sort of pretty and Annie Lennox is a great, great singer (though the award is supposed to be for the song). I actually probably would have voted for the "Triplets of Belleville" song.BlueChair wrote:How could such a boring song beat Elvis AND A Kiss At The End Of The Rainbow?

And I do like the way the music was handled for LOTR. Business imperatives probably drove the inclusion of famous pop singers at the end singing songs at the end of all three films, but how grateful should we all be that, after the main titles ended, we weren't accosted by drum machines and the voice of Jessica Simpson doing an elven themed Diane Warren tune...

the triplets of belleville song was FABULOUS! and the presentation was brilliant. imho.
i love the soundtracks to LoTR. My favorite 'pop song' from them is 'Gollum's Song' by Emilliani Torrini, but 'Into the West' gives me chills. a beautiful song, sung beautifully by annie lennox.
Not sure if it should have won, but it is still brilliant work. bummed that i missed seeing it performed.
