My Ideal "Best Song" Nominations

Here are the songs I would love to see be nominated for Best Song.  Whether they do or don't, I guess we'll see.

Albert Nobbs - "Lay Your Head Down" by Sinead O'Connor

Captain America: The First Avenger - "Star Spangled Man" by Alan Menkin

Gnomeo & Juliet - "Hello, Hello" by Elton John

Happy Feet Two - "Bridge of Light" by Pink

The Muppets - "Life's A Happy Song" by The Muppets

Patriotism Never Sounded So Catchy

For those who are feeling particularly patriotic this morning, take a listen to "Star Spangled Man," a catchy Broadway-style tune by Alan Silvestri (the Oscar-nominated composer who wrote the "Back To The Future" theme) for the new film "Captain America: The First Avenger."  And yes, I would SO love to see this nominated for Best Song and performed with lots of flamboyant glee at the Oscar telecast next year!
