Oscars Show Snubs Best Song Nominees

Man or Muppet Muppet Movie Jason Segel

The Academy Awards show organizers have decided not to schedule the traditional musical numbers for the best song nominees this year. The Academy had already shown disdain — or disappointment — in the film songs this year by only nominating two tunes out of thirty-nine possible choices through a criticized nominating process. But now even those two songs will not get to take the stage. And we lose the chance to see Muppets singing on stage.

So, you will have to enjoy the nominated songs elsewhere. One is “Man or Muppet,” featuring Jason Segel, from The Muppets (2011).

And another is “Real in Rio” from Rio (2011).

Which song do you prefer? Should the Academy allowed the songs to be performed Sunday night? Leave your two cents in the comments.
