Matt Forbes's video: FOR YOUR INCONSIDERATION - Russell Crowe

After being shutout as Best Supporting Actor from the SAG Awards, the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs and now the Academy Awards, the non-singing-actor Russell Crowe laments and reminds us why he should have made the cut... (With apologies for the deliberately flat/autotuned vocals...) Written and Performed by Matt Forbes www.matthewquinnforbes.com Special thanks to Steven M. Kelly for allowing the use of his newly orchestrated arrangement of 'Stars' LYRICS: Each time I have a solo Tom puts me up here Out on this ledge Out on this damn ledge But where is my closeup? They keep cutting to my shoes... Is this song about shoes? ...I guess this song's about shoes... Unlike that close-up of Anne's, The Crowe-meister gets several wide pans... (Which happens to also describe, The bulk of my reviews...) But if Tom had framed me close and tight I wouldn't be refused... Denied... Barred from the Oscar. Not even a Razzie. Or even the Globe. (The goddamn award you can buy...) But God be my witness, My next distributor will be The Weinstein Company The Weinstein Company... Harvey takes you under his wing And will ignore the fact you can't even sing. And he makes sure those SAG screeners come With a fuckload of swag... But instead I got a different hat and a darker blue cravat! Well, if that's character development -- I'm fucking screwed! There's no way I can compete with that other dude And by that dude, yes I'm referring to Anne! ...with that haircut, she looks like a man.... Two minutes later, I'm still flaring my nostrils... To little effect! Now I can clearly see... Why they, omitted me -- As a real nominee....
