If I remember correctly it's somewhere in the middle of the movie. I think when the main characters were younger.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351829904831853599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11886706.post-17715283005918632612009-02-23T10:53:00.000-08:002009-02-23T10:53:00.000-08:00Paper Planes was in Slumdog?

But I still don't think they have any credibility. As for the songs chosen, I definitely think Bruce's should have been in there, and I also though MIA's "Paper Planes" should have been nominated, because I thought it was the best song in Slumdog, but maybe it wasn't written specifically for the movie or something. I don't know how all these rules work...Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351829904831853599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11886706.post-88437694398174255512009-02-22T08:58:00.000-08:002009-02-22T08:58:00.000-08:00There are songs that can not be nominated.

They didn't nominate Eddie Vedder's version of Hard Sun for Into The Wild either and that song is TREMENDOUS. <BR/><BR/>I'll be watching the Oscars. Heck I'll be live blogging it so you can live vicariously! Now if they don't give Heath the award I will riot.Cinnamon Girl https://www.blogger.com/profile/06542122037324196279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11886706.post-75417183720859401582009-02-22T08:42:00.000-08:002009-02-22T08:42:00.000-08:00What kind of rule is it that music performances ar...What kind of rule is it that music performances are limited to 65 seconds?
