Indiewire: Does Muppets Most Wanted Have Oscar "Best Song" Potential?

[Drtooth]

Yes, but who remembers "It Goes Like It Goes," who wrote it, who sung it or what film it came from without looking it up?

Exactly. I'll agree to "the First Time it Happens" being the least qualified song on that list (totally should have been "Happiness Hotel" or "Hey! A Movie!"), and at least people under the age of fifty have heard the song from Arthur.

As far as this one goes, We have a song by Glenn Campbell in a picture about Glenn Campbell, something that probably plays only at the end credits from Selma, and something from a film no one has heard of that's probably so fake artsy that it pretends to be world music or something (there's always one of those), and one song from a fun movie. Sucks that MMW got snubbed, but so didn't songs from Book of Life and Boxtrolls. Now that I think of it, I'm almost more annoyed the Song of the Boxtrolls didn't get on the list either.
