Well I'm sure during the BIG "Friends" Craze they would have award that song.

Forget pimps, it's hard out here for a pony.

And even harder for the guy who cleans the stable.

Was the Crash song by the woman who played Toby's wife on West Wing?

Of course it's hard for a pimp in Times Square in 2006. Hello Kitty Stores,Surf shops, Wax museums, The Yankee clubhouse, the American Airlines theatre and first run movie house

Where can a pimps and his stable ply their wears? Its a shame.

I am so shocked that it beat out that Rent song - Seasons of Love!

Seriously, my kids and my wife laughed when it won.

Picture it: the 65th Annual Academy Awards, 1993. The movie Aladdin was very popular.

Miss Debbie Allen is the choreographer and Nell Carter is there to perform the song "A Friend Like Me".

For some unknown reason, Miss Debbie Allen gets it in her head that Nell has to do more than just sing, she has to be a part of a big production number.

During the big Allenesque production number, Nell Carter runs across the stage. Nell Carter was 4'11" and 300 pounds before breakfast and never ran anywhere. It's a sight that disturbs me to this very day.

I may sound like an idiot...but wouldn't Seasons of Love be ineligible for Best original song when it was already on Broadway 10 years ago?

Can you shoot me please?

I took Sarcasm as a second language and failed.

I am not very funny, so it is not your fault.

Did you ever think you'd live to see the day that a song called "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" win an Academy Award? Appalling! In fact, I found the whole show appalling.

I think someone needs to make a song called "It's harder out here for a Whore."

I happen to have that Nell Carter incident on tape. Just for that Ms Allen should be barred from ever coreographing.

Well, I've had it stuck in my head all day so it must be doing SOMETHING right.

And YES - it IS hard out here for a pimp.

[Kitzarina]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 7:51pm

It's hard out here for your mom.

[theatrebabe]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 7:54pm

Ugh. I had this song stuck in my head all day too. It was awful. And I didn't even know the words.

[Michael Bennett]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 7:58pm

Um... songs that are stuck in your head all day are GOOD songs - like ir or not. I can't remember any of the other nominated songs - so I'll say PIMP deserved to win :)

[DAME]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 7:59pm

So sing it girl.

[theatrebabe]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 8:02pm

Hah.

Not true. I get awful songs stuck in my head all the time. It's not fun. Believe you me.

There is something catchy about it, though.

[Michael Bennett]

Posted: 3/6/06 at 8:04pm

And that woman could really sing.

And it works great in the film. So what if it seemed bizarre on the Oscar telecast. I mean out of context, ROSE'S TURN is a really stupid song too - so what's the point?

MB;
I though she sounded horrendous. And from what I read.. even worst in person.
