And Uruguay got their first Oscar ever! For best song, even if it was
almost ruined by Antonio Bandera's rendition.. big controversy actually,
Jorge Drexler, the uruguayan that won, was not allowed to sing it
himself (the aduced reason was that nobody knows him and thus the
ratings wouldn't be good), thus the mexican actor that was supposed to
introduce the song did not show up, and Selma Hayek did it instead, but
went off script to mention this guy's name a couple of times, and
translated part of the lyrics into english. Also, he sang part of it
himself when he got up there...

A friend's grandson is singing with the American Boys Choir as a back up to
Beyonce at tonight's awards show! He's so excited. The song is one of the
nominated ones. This is his last semester in the school/choir...what a way
to end his stint!
