Political Parody

[Jamie]

Apologies to any Republicans in the Crowd, but several Broadway stars have turned "One Day More" from Les Miserables into "One Term More" - very well done youtu.be/0WHw32bv9BQ

Hey Jamie,
I've already seen this parody, and I love it! I even printed the lyrics to save in my scrapbook. It's very well done.

Fabulous. Thanks.

From a political blog, commenting on the video:

I doubt that video will have much influence election-wise, but boy can those folks sing. Here’s a related non-electoral prediction: Hugh Jackman’s gonna win an Oscar.

"From your lips, to God's ears" as the saying goes. ;D

Another prediction: We are all going to be blithering basket cases dissolving in a puddle of anticipatory goo until the Oscar nominations are announced.

January 15, 2013 - announcement of Academy Award nominations

February 24, 2013 - Academy Awards night

The Golden Globes, usually scheduled ahead of the Oscars, is the other red-letter day!

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as set the dates for next year's Oscars ceremony and nominations announcement.

The organization sent the following tweet on Wednesday: "The 85th Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Jan. 15, 2013, and the Oscar® telecast will be presented on Feb. 24."

The awards will again be handed out at the theater formerly known as the Kodak at the Hollywood & Highland center in Hollywood.

The announcement keeps the Oscar telecast on the last Sunday of February, which is significant given the rumblings around Hollywood that the Academy might move the event to earlier in the year. But the date of the nominations announcement has been moved up about a week to Jan. 15 from this year's Jan 24.

That puts the nomination announcement just two days after the likely date of the Golden Globes, which could steal some thunder from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's annual kudos. It also shortens the so-called "Phase One" of awards season (pre-nominations) and lengthens the "Phase Two" time frame by about a week.
