Okay, I know we’ve done similar things before but all my ideas were repeat rounds of a sort ha.

It’s the Oscars this weekend, the most magical time of year!

Theme: Oscar fever

Give me a song from a movie, or memorably used in a movie, or about a movie or movie stars or movies generally. Extra points if your movie or star is Oscar nominated. Double extra points if the song was nominated for Best Original Song.

No previous nominations - we don’t need to see Glenn Close try and fail again and again.

Nominations due 1pm AEDT Friday 28 February. Votes due 10pm AEDT Sunday 2 March.

5 - Streets by Black Thought ft. Tish Hyman vanders (great tune!)
4 - What Now by Brittany Howard TubbsFarquhar (I didn't really like this album when I gave it a few spins on release, but this song was definitely the stand out)
3 - Ad Astra by Deerhunter DemurePrincess (I bloody love Deerhunter!)
2 - River by Bishop Briggs Callums_Guns (this one surprised me - I expected not to like it all when it first started)
1 - Everlasting Love by The Town Criers Fossie 32 (classic sing-a-long!)

B - Encore by Red Hot Chili Peppers por_please_ya (I'm old, I love their 90s albums and this just sounds lame in comparison)

Maybe some of the old heads might be into this one. Chill folky, lounge type joint.

I've just put it on to help me concentrate on work (not that BF generally helps with that) and it's a great listen!

Lingua Ignota once won an Oscar.

Looking back over the history of the Oscars and some of the snubs were wild.

 

[vanders]

Glad yall liked Black Thought

 

[Ocha905]

Glad yall liked Black Thought

Glad the contest changed their tune (and that you're playing again as you're 2 for 2 in getting votes).

I got the Billy when I nommed him. It was kind of fair since it went for 10+ mins... of the best freestyle rap ever created but whatevs.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Glad yall liked Black Thought

He's brilliant.

An addition to his stuff with The Roots, his collab album with Danger Mouse was quality with Aquamarine being one of my songs of that year (2022).
