Over the Rainbow from PS22 Chorus Ends Worst Oscars Ever

Even the lovable PS22 Chorus couldn't spend the poorest Oscars ever.

Did you hear that?  The colossus sigh of relief that USA permit discover as presently as the credits started to listing on the 83rd Academy Awards?  The whole Oscars send played discover same an episode of Sat Night Live, from the describe directive into the fantastic “Hi Mom, Hi Grandma” info of the inaugural monologue to Anne wife melodic and hosting town Welch of town + the Machine (as she did on SNL backwards in November) to the closing instance when the “cast” of winners came discover on initiate as Staten Island’s PS22 Chorus herb “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

The kids at PS22 are adorable, but modify their life couldn’t spend what was – by every accounts – the poorest accolade send of every time.  Twitter was overwhelmed with jokes most saint dictator hunting as if he’d gotten broad before the show.  Anne Hathaway’s debonaire “I’m meet happy to be here” knowledge was charming at first, but audience grew steadily weary of her attempts to equilibrate for Franco’s apathy. Ironically, his hipstery effort may hit been the exclusive proof we were watching the “young and hip” Oscars, though oddly, in hindsight, it seems 94-year-old Kirk politico was the hippest sheik on initiate tonight.

The “highlights” of this exhibit filled with lowlights (Gwyneth Paltrow melodic land with her eyes winking using Barbra’s white mic???) were as follows:

CATE BLANCHETT’S DRESS – I loved it, truly.  I organisation to attain a kindred coiffe for myself using a lavender linen and my 5-year-old daughter’s imbibe beads.

CELINE DION’S AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY COMMERCIAL, FOLLOWED BY CELINE DION SINGING TO PHOTOS OF DEAD PEOPLE.

THE COMMERCIAL FOR MODERN FAMILY – crammed more fervour into 30 seconds than the whole 3 hour show.

BARACK OBAMA AND KEVIN SPACEY – talking most their selection song from a movie.  Aside from Morgan Freeman, was President Obama the exclusive black man who got some grappling instance tonight?  Thankfully Kevin Spacey wasn’t the exclusive gay to intend a shout-out.

BILLY CRYSTAL – attending discover of nowhere, seemingly to verify over for the drowning teen hosts, and then leaving after distribution a fantastic Bob Hope anecdote.  (My pal, Daily Show shaper Rory Albanese, nailed that instance in a tweet: “The hosts prefabricated me woman Billy Crystal, Crystal prefabricated me desire for Bob Hope and Hope actually prefabricated me vocalization and he’s dead.”)

AND THE ONLY LOL-INDUCING MOMENT OF THE WHOLE SHEBANG, LUKE MATHENY AND HIS GORGEOUS JEWFRO – “I shoulda got a haircut.”  No, boo, we fuck you meet the artefact you are.  You prefabricated America’s night!

The PS22 Chorus meet herb commendable during the springy inaugural of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and though these kids are great, I think they’re more recreation to check on YouTube.  Not because they don’t perform substantially live, but because there’s something special most seeing them in practice fashion on their bag turf, where the noesis of arts activity to advise teen people is really evident.  It feels same peeking in on a kid in face of their mirror belting into a hairbrush.  Here they are, melodic Katy Perry’s “Firework” during a advise word for the Oscars.

You crapper study the PS22 Chorus on their blog.
