Was it live or lip-syncing for Zeta-Jones?

“Sang”, dear, the past tense of “to sing” is “sang”.

“Babs SANG his Oscar-winning tune…”

Jennifer Hudson is such a horrible singer, screeching 80% of the time.

@MikeE: Thanks. Writing an article needs to be written properly.
Huff Post does it now and then.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter much, BUT the song is “ONE DAY MORE”, not “ONE MORE DAY”.

You omitted Sound Effects Editing. It was a tie: Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty.

While he’s catching a lot of flack for some of his outre remarks, Seth McFarlane is something of a show tunes queen! “High Hopes”, “The Way You Look Tonight”, and the “Shipoopi” sequence on “Family Guy”.

@MikeE: I see they’ve corrected it, but why or why do people keep making that mistake? The verb is sing, sang, and sung. The same with “sink.” I sink today, I sank yesterday, and I have sunk many times before. Oh, and “stink.” Need I go on? I think not.

@Red Meat: I’m not sure why it had to be so over the top. She CAN sing, so the decibels could have been easily toned down

I don’t watch the Oscars every year but I’m glad I did this year!

Other best moments: Jennifer Lawrence falling (lol gotta love her), the guy being cut off by the Jaws music (died laughing) and of course just seeing the sexy Hugh Jackman ;D
