IT'S HARD OUT THERE TO BE A PIMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Academy is really opening their eyes to different style of music. They beat out Dolly Parton, the fave in this category!!!!

I was coming in here to post that, LOL. I was kind of shocked at that myself. The performance was good too.

I was saying to myself, wouldn't it be awesome to see them win just like Eminem did a few years back???? Nahhhhhh, won't happen. Then, when Queen Latifah started smiling and made that laugh, I knew it. Just her face reaction told the whole story. Awesome.

I was getting ready to do the same as well. I was shocked that the song won. Great, now it's hard for a pimp

.... I thought Taraji P. Henson did a good job singing and I liked the song Dolly Parton did.

It might be a start, but The Academy still has a long ways to go.

I was SO surprised...and really happy.

Mr. Television · 03-06-2006, 07:32 PM

I was hoping that Dolly would win but after I heard the pimp song, I think they made the right choice. It's so catchy, I still got it going on in my head.

Ireneparalegal · 03-06-2006, 09:48 PM

The Academy doesn't vote for "favorites" or what the public likes. They vote for what they like, what they think was artistically done well, it's not a people's choice awards.

As far as the academy opening their eyes to new music Felicity, this wasn't the first time a rap song won for Best Song. Remember, Eminem won a few years back for his song from 8 mile. So, my original post abt the academy opening their eyes (and ears) to new styles of music remains.

Steve M. · 03-06-2006, 11:35 PM

This choice was political corrrectness run amok!

felicitylen · 03-06-2006, 11:43 PM

I forgot that Eminem's song won, but why "Its Hard for a Pimp" song to be nominated and actually win?..That I will never understand.

Not really. With ACTORS being able to vote, you have alot of actors who are not white, jewish, stuck-up, close-minded etc.
Besides, one must watch the movie to understand the meaning of the song. It's not just a "rap" song. but it is a rap song at it's best.

felicitylen · 03-07-2006, 06:15 PM

Even though, I felt like the song shouldn't have won, I think I will finally rent the movie this weekend just to see what the fuss is all about.
