Or, the Anti-Oscars.^TM

"Blame Canada," from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

PRO: Now that's cool.
CON: What? No nomination for "Uncle Fucka?"

"Music of My Heart," from Music of the Heart

PRO: Oh, please. The AMPAA is the only reason Diane Warren has a job - look up her past credentials on www.oscar.com. Ugh.
CON: It sounds more like the music of your ass.

"Save Me," from Magnolia

PRO: The song clocks in at a virtually eye-blinking length of about four minutes.
CON: Yes, save us from Magnolia. Please.

"When She Loved Me," from Toy Story 2

PRO: Well, this is Randy Newman's 13th nomination - he is getting into Susan Lucci territory.
CON: Sarah McLaughlin -- too cool for Academy voters.

"You'll Be In My Heart," from Tarzan

PRO: Sung by Phil Collins, so it gives ex-Genesis leader Peter Gabriel hope he'll win an Oscar someday too.
CON: Probably gives ex-Genesis band member Tony Banks the same hope.
