everyone was saying he deserved one prior to nominations and i remember quite a little storm when he didnt even get nominated (accusing the academy of not wanting to support the gangster rap culture)


I believe the performers of the song deserve an oscar sure the words and music are a great part of the impact but the singer if not even more so they at least share an equal amount to the impact of a song

heck look at 'i will always love you' by Dolly Parton; sure Dolly sings it great but if it wasn't for Whitney Houston "The Bodyguard" wouldn't even have been noticed
