Well, at least one good thing came from the Oscar nominations...

A single nomination for Drive, three nominations for Transformers: Dark of The Moon, bugger all for Shame; whatever your interpretation of the Academy's choices, I hope you're all as excited about the following realisation as we are...

Thanks to a bizarre decision to only include two nominations instead of the usual five in the 'Best Song' category, Bret McKenzie-penned "Man or Muppet" now stands a much better chance of landing a coveted (and in this case deserved) Academy Award. I feel sorry for whatever song was nominated from Rio now, because nobody wants to see that win. That was meant in the nicest possible way.
