Jason Segel was so proud.

He is a pretty good actor…

Not to mention the fact that he is also half of New Zealand's 4th most popular folk comedy duo.

[@BROJANGSTER]

what are the other 3?

I love how it’s always the comedic actors that have the most fun when presenting an Oscar whereas other presenters just walk up, read nominees and announce winner and walk off. Like when Ben stiller did the best visual effects for 2006 he was dressed in a green screen suit pretending he was invisible 😂😂😂 and now will and Zach with the symbols 😂

I don't know why either. Maybe there weren't enough well made songs that year or something?

Life's A Happy Song should have been nominated. But Real in Rio and Man or Muppet are both wonderful songs. One of pure jubiliation and one of melancholy!

[@twist58]

It was a tough call this year at the Oscars for this category! Those songs sounded great and just by looking at the nominees, Muppets and Rio still bring out the joy out of the kid at heart as well as the new generation respectively!

[@StephenPike]

a win for all the FOTC fanx out there. A better guy could not have won it. Love Bret. Though, only two songs were nominated, so he had a pretty good chance of winning.

[@dennismiller9720]

Damn... if I was Jason Segel I would feel kinda hurt for no mention there but it is what it is, glad they won an Oscar for the performance.

[@ploopydiper]

I know :( he absolutely killed that performance

[@homieblossom]

why the fuck was there only 2 songs nominated that year, it makes absolutely no sense

[@ManuelaGaribotti]

homieblossom because every year when they have to vote for deciding the nominees (not the final winner) the voters review the choices instead of voting for just one. The Academy nominates those songs which had a score of 8.5 or higher (the limit of nominees is 5). Apparently, this year only two songs made it to the nomination.

[@gedeb]

I think that it just shows the changing times- I love comedic songs, and I'm glad that they are finally getting recognized. :-)

[@irishmanrants89]

Glad Murray got him a gig that paid off.

[@gabe_s_videos]

That mention of Jim Henson at the end will always touch my heart.

[@yesmabyeno]

Jason Segel seems genuinely happy for Bret!

[@klausweasley]

I'm pretending this is also a win for "Life's a Happy Song"

I can imagine when Bret gets back to New Zealand he'll find Jemaine sitting on a couch with his arms crossed pissed off that he didn't get mentioned in this speech.

[@bomdia4578]

@@miqueiassv-6496 Na verdade o filme foi feito por pessoas de ambos os países, mas só o fato de ter Br - principalmente como o diretor do filme - já faz eles terem preconceito. Tanto que, um filme quase 100% Br ganhou o Oscar uma vez, mas foi para os EUA porque o diretor era americano. Também já aconteceu o oposto, o filme quase 100% americano, menos o diretor que era Br (que é o mesmo diretor de Rio) e novamente o prêmio foi para os EUA.

[@karis1987]

Thanks Bret!!! For being who you are!!! Congrats once more!!

[@KeeTheBrit]

I can name at least one movie which deserved a nomination. Disney's "Winnie the Pooh" had some awesome songs! The Backson song definitely deserved one.

A gem of a person Bret is best

[@wander726]

If this song wins, "Peaches" from the Mario movie really has chance to win too

[@TotallyNOTWordGirl]

Man or muppet was a well written song meanwhile “peaches” is mostly just the word peaches repeated over and over again

[@ZOEmotion.P]

This is the right place to complain about how "Something So Right" wasn't nominated (not even shortlisted) in 2015. That song is amazing, showcases a big moment in the movie and out of context it talks about the anxiety before marriage brilliantly. Just Imagine how epic, would've been to see Miss Piggy performing with Celine Dion at the Oscars. A huge missed opportunity

[@theJanaea31]

how can anyone dislike this?.. hes got it going on guys.

[@donnya.oryankingdonny230]

Now I wish that both of the two songs: Real in Rio and Man or Muppet, were performed in front of the audience... but, they didn't get a chance to sing the two songs. Awww!!!

[@dannytheman1313]

Jim is definitely proud.

[@nd5517]

LOL at Scorsese covering his ears at @0:18.

[@cirakane5011]

Just look at Segel's expression at the end. I know a lot of Muppet purists complain, "oh stupid, insipid celebrity had to write this movie and destroy the Muppets." You know what, Segel as well as others involved did what they did simply because they loved the Muppets and wanted the world to celebrate Jim Henson's creations. The fact that Segel kept the hole that the rainbow connection tore through in the new movie is proof of that.

[@scottvasquez1401]

The reason why there were only two nominees is because in the old rule, voters in the music branch rank a song from 1 to 10, a song has to score an 8.5 average in order to get the nomination for Best Song. These were the only two songs to hit that mark. After this, they changed the rule so that it doesn't happen again. Now the 5 highest average scores will get nominated.

If Walt Disney smiled from heaven when Frozen won best animated film and best original song, then the great Jim Henson and others like Richard Hunt would be smiling also for this amazing win for the Muppets. They totally deserved it because this song is emotionally beautiful. XD

Reali in Rio é ano luz a frente de Man or muppet que é uma música melancólica e chata. Real inr Rio é melhor musicalmente e até os arranjos musicais. A letra dos Muppets não era grande coisa. Foi a maior injustiça daquele Oscar, tanto que mesmo tendo apenas duas canções indicadas nenhuma das duas foram cantadas no palco, para não evidenciar que a música brasileira era infinitamente melhor.

Well off the top of my head, I could say Captain America, Albert Nobbs, The Help, "Life's A Happy Song" from The Muppets and even the song from Hugo could have been nominees over the two nominees (which were decent but not great). If there were only two nominees, they could have been more deserving ones in my opinion
