Arists nominated for best original song will not be performing at this year’s Oscars. One of the nominees is allegedly outraged by this revelation. This marks the second year in a row that the Oscars have messed with these performances.

It’s one of my favorite parts of the show. Listen to the nominated songs below.

Seth Macfarlane, the creator of Family Guy, released a statement saying “from its inception, ‘Family Guy’ has used biting satire as the foundation of its humor. The show is an “equal-opportunity offender.” Watch the clip below to see Sarah Palin’s comments. I also posted a second clip which……okay I laughed a little. Dammit!
Is this really a smart move given the success of Jersey Shore? We will see. Mtv is trying to launch more scripted programming, and the new film, Turn the Beat Around, is the first step in the transition. Hopefully Mtv has learned something since the days of Undressed. Remember that cheesy soap opera they had on the air in the late 90s?
