Pimps up/Hoedown

1> Comments

I suspect not many Blowing Smoke readers will be with me on this, but I'm a big fan of Dolly Parton. So I'm hoping she'll win the Oscar for Best Original Song tonight. Still, it does tell you a lot about this year's awards that even country-fried Dolly is nominated for a song in a movie about a transsexual. Yes indeed, the Oscar goes to 'social issues'. (I hear that Transamerica is a fine film, very funny. After checking out the clips on iFilm, I'm not persuaded.)

But if Dolly doesn't win, I'm hoping the Oscar will go to rappers Three 6 Mafia. Because if someone uttering the phrase, "And the Oscar goes to...It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp!" doesn't make people realise what a joke these awards are, nothing will.
