Okay, it's not quite a snub of Mask-nitude. But it sucks because I was looking forward to an Oscar-live performance of the song. It's all about me isn't it?
In today's Oscar nomination flurry, many noticed that "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me Yet," the "Burlesque" song written by Diane Warren and performed by Cher — aka, the best original song winner at the Golden Globes — didn't receive a nomination for the Academy's best original song. Cher was among those who expressed outrage, tweeting: "The Golden Globe 4 BEST SONG & not even get nominated by the OSCARS? Oh well it is..what it is…the sun is still shining!" In other words, haters gonna hate.
Harumph! Well, oscars love a reason to exclude somebody.
This does not upset me to the level that Farah Fawcett being excluded from the Death Reel last year upset me. Didn't they say something about how she didn't make enough movies. Umm…I counted seven, including such hits as Cannanball Run, Extremities, and The Apostle. Michael Jackson did make the Death Reel and his only film performance (outside of playing himself) was The Wiz. I'm probably a bigger Jackson fan than I am a Fawcett fan and yet this still irked me to no end. Because it was so obviously a diss. The Oscar people tried to rationalize their obvious exclusion with junk that didn't hold water to anyone who knew how to use imdb.com.
Because they're jerks. There I said it.
