The Oscar nominations came out this morning and I’m just a little peeved. Where the hell is The LEGO Movie and that dude from Selma? Also, Selma’s director was completely overlooked and that category is a straight up boy’s club; rude. Movies aren’t even my thing but I’m still mad. Also, Emma Stone in Birdman is like that Lupita in 12 Years a Slave…Not even in it enough…Yeah, I watched 12 Years and was like, this is it? Same with Birdman. Michael Keaton though, he owned that role. So to calm down a bit, I decided to look at some favorite songs that have walked away with Best Original Song over the years…Keeping in mind that I’m 27…so a lot are from classic Disney films and not Frozen – if you know me, you know I’m one of three people on earth who hated that movie.
