No Oscar nomination for Trent Reznor this year. The National, Jónsi, She & Him, and all the other indie types who made the Best Original Song shortlist also didn’t hear their names called when the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences announced this year’s Oscar nominations this morning. In fact, only two songs were nominated for Best Original Song this year, which seems weird. And one of them happens to be “Man Or Muppet,” which Bret McKenzie, the slight and bearded half of Flight Of The Concords, wrote for The Muppets. It’s going up against something from Rio. Murray is going to be so proud! Watch the “Man Or Muppet” video below.

“And the oscar goes to…Bret”
“Present”
It’s business time.
The Muppets was directed by James Bobin, who also co-created Flight of The Conchords with Brett and Jemaine
I am more blown away by the fact that this guy is nominated
Bret, you got it goin’ on!
phaha, and Jemaine wrote one of the songs from rio too, so they were both involved
