After another predictable Oscar Ceremony, where there were literally NO surprises and not even a controversial host to speak of we can sit back and relax in the fact that whatever is said about British vs American movies, for all our faults and for all their risk taking, us Brits do do award ceremonies a darn sight better.

Such is the wonder of the BAFTAS.

However, the Oscars this year did throw up one timeless gem. One nugget of utter brilliance. A undoubtedly fully deserved victory. Albeit from a category of two.

Best Original Song.

The winner – The genius of ‘Man or Muppett’ by Bret Mckenzie. Taken from the masterful The Muppets. Delight in this.

Let’s bring it back to the 90’s this week and pick an epic anthem from a group of British legends. Featured in the college smash Cruel Intentions – we give you The Verve and their Rolling Stones cover (of sorts) Bittersweet Symphony.

Shame the movie wasn’t as good as The Verve’s music video. Ah well. It’s a great song.

p.s. **SPOILER ALERT ON THIS CLIP**

There really is only one track we can pick this week.

Put simply, R.I.P. Whitney Houston.

You had your faults, quite a few, but looking back…we’ll always love you.

This ones for all the mums.

Well…after being left, mouth agape in utter astonishment, at the shear brilliance of Warrior it seemed only fair to bestow this wondrous award upon it’s mighty shoulders.

So here’s to The National’s ‘About Today’. Perfect selection for an incredible movie.

And furthermore…friggin’ Beethoven’s ‘Ode To Joy’ of bloody course…

p.s. Nick Nolte for Academy Award please.
