And David Oyelewo was just so moved that he moved to too. As an aside...that oscar should be his.Next time

  • @liljezta1
    @liljezta1 3 года назад +60

    Common: “First I would like to thank God that lives in us all. Recently John and I got to go to Selma and perform Glory on the same bridge that Dr. King and the people of the Civil Rights movement marched on 50 years ago. This bridge was once a landmark of a divided nation, but now it’s a symbol for change. The spirit of this bridge transforms race, gender, religion, sexual orientation and social status. The spirit of this bridge connects the kid from the South side of Chicago dreaming of a better life to those in France standing up for their freedom of expression, to the people in Hong Kong protesting for democracy. This bridge was built on hope, welded with compassion and elevated by love for all human beings.”

    Say what you will about "Everything is Awesome", a song that could have easily won in any other year. But IMHO, the Best Original Song Oscar really deserved to go to "Glory" this year. The whole category this year was full of songs that could have easily won in most other years and it would be acceptable, but you just have to give it to "Glory", you just have to.

I believe that this is a matter of teaching other generations what was like back in those times when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an icon, a legend and one of the most powerful people with perspective and posperity of what all kinds of people that came together as one group to actually look back at what Dr. King have taught us over the years from generations to come and many more.

    Why wasn't The Last Goob-Bye by Billy Boyd from The Battle of the Five Armies nominated? I cried all the way during the song when it played at the end credits in the theater. We all clapped and cheered for 3 straight minutes, a magical moment I would love to relive again!

      it is not an obligation to stand up... it is not necessary, even if you love the performance and song

    Democracy is a process, not a static condition. It is becoming, rather than being. It can easily be lost, but never is fully won. Its essence is eternal struggle. -William Henry Hastie, Jr. (1904-1976)
