The Oscar goes to..... Randy Newma, REALLY?

[kono]

Are you kidding me? And it's his second Oscar! They must be tone deaf at the Academy.

Family Guy parody

 

[shack]

He is a great songwriter and has been highly regarded throughout his long career.

I believe it was one of those cases of, the guy's been nominated 20 times, with only 1 Oscar. So they gave him another one for being passed up so many times before.

 

[Brill]

Annoying and overrated.

 

[capncrunch]

Annoying and overrated.

And how many Oscars do you have, Brill?

 

[night ride]

Annoying and overrated.

so it just means he meets the criteria.

 

[Garrett]

Annoying and overrated.

Not for me. He is a great writer... and Sail Away is one of the greatest albums of all time.

 

[Ben Hogan]

It was the best of a weak group of songs.

Randy has done some stellar work in the past. I enjoyed his speech when he won the Oscar.

 

[K Douglas]

That is a terrible song, there must have been better choices.
