M.I.A. Might Get In Bed With The Oscars

Oscar has a little problem this year, and I’m not just talking about the fact that no human being likes The Reader even though the Weinsteins bought it a Best Picture nod. Actually, that is part of the problem. This year’s batch of Best Picture contenders are a moribund lot with no real consensus favorite and no Dark Knight-style blockbuster up there to boost ratings. Sure, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button is doing alright at the box office, but it has to make about $100 million more to even recoup, and it has as many detractors as it has supporters. Slumdog Millionaire is the only real “story” to surround this year’s Academy Awards, so you can imagine that the producers of said awards show really want M.I.A. to perform a little bit of her song from the movie, “O Saya,” on Sunday night. There is just one problem: She’s worried about her condition, what with her recently having a baby and all.

lightattheendofthecriss.jpgThe final two entrants in our We Aren’t The World Bracket come from two musical stalwarts who, as far as I know, have never collaborated before: electro legends Erasure and ex-Kiss skinsman Peter Criss. No matter who wins, here’s hoping that this pairing will inspire them to release “A Little Respect ’08” sometime soon!
