Inspired by Billy Crystal (undoubtedly Oscar's best host) I wrote a medley of the 8 Best Picture nominees.
It's a wonderful night for Oscar. Oscar, Oscar, who will win?
Thank you Juli for all you help!
LYRICS
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with deepest pride
and greatest pleasure that I welcome you tonight.
And now I invite you to relax, let us pull up a
chair as your pre-Oscar host proudly presents -
the nominees!
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL
Gustave H! Gustave H!
He’s by far the best concierge.
If you’re blonde and have some money,
he won’t care about your age.
He’ll make sure
that your stay
is perfect in every way.
Even if that involves stealing art
or getting out of jail.
Goldblum, Murray, Jude Law
Norton, Brody and Dafoe,
everyone’s in Wes Anderson’s masterpiece.
This hipster’s fantasy
might charm the Academy.
Come to the
Grand Buda
pest Hotel!
AMERICAN SNIPER
Chris Kyle was a Navy SEAL
became the deadliest sniper.
But back home his wife waited
changing the fake baby’s diapers.
Three times he went back to Iraq,
man, that was a manslaughter.
Was it just me or Eastwood’s film
was just like The Hurt Locker?
WHIPLASH
Oh, when you play the drums for him
J.K. Simmons will shout and scream
Don’t rush, don’t drag, stick to his tempo
Oh, when you play the drums for him.
Expect insults, flying chairs and blood
and never once he’ll say “good job”.
Don’t try to sabotage his jazz band.
Oh, when you play the drums for him.
SELMA
Will you march with Dr. King,
From Selma to Montgomery?
I’ve been told that Oprah’s coming
so we’ll all get souvenirs.
Black people didn’t have a chance
to vote for representatives.
Just like in the Oscars
where there’s not one black nominee.
THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING
It’s the story of Stephen Hawking
And how he met with his wife Jane
while searching for an equation:
a theory of everything
One day he started feeling pain
They said he’d never speak again
Still he explained us the Big Bang
But sounding like a dalek
BOYHOOD
When Linklater started filming Boyhood
it was the year two thousand two.
The boy was six years old and starting school.
But then twelve years later,
left for college, everyone was changed.
except for Ethan Hawke who looked the same
Mason and his family
Their lives and their history
It should have been titled puberty.
THE IMITATION GAME
Crack ENIGMA was his mission.
He was a mathematician.
Alan Turing was his name.
While creating a computer,
Sherlock was like Sheldon Cooper,
On “The Imitation Game”.
He was great at solving crosswords,
or decoding Nazi orders,
Not a challenge for his brain.
He turned on and off those switches,
Like hormones on cumberbitches,
On “The Imitation Game”.
BIRDMAN
A washed-up ex-Hollywood star
Wrote a play for a chance in Broadway
But oh my! He believes he can fly.
He thinks he’s Birdman
Now everyone’s in comic films
Norton was the Incredible Hulk
Emma Stone was Spider-Man’s girlfriend
Keaton was Batman
But was his real life the basis for the plot?
In the end, is he going crazy or not?
Was it all filmed in one shot?
Please Iñarritu please tell us, it's making us jealous.
The Oscars are this Sunday night
NPH will be incredibly great
Break a leg! You might win a statuette
Keep your speeches short
and tune in to enjoy the Academy Awards!
