Once again, recency bias rears its ugly head (all right, not for Walk the Line, but as we all know, that's not a true musical. lol.) I enjoy the 2011 Muppets as much as anyone, but ultimately it's just a pretty good movie. A Star is Born is Judy's best performance. It should move on on the basis of this scene alone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWO9IHzzfRA

Also Grease sucks and should lose to Oklahoma, but I care less about that.

OK. What am I missing about the 2011 Muppets? I saw it and enjoyed it. It's fun and breezy. But Judy bares her soul repeatedly throughout that movie as James Mason destroys himself. On the basis of her performance of The Man That Got Away - arguably the greatest torch song of all time - this movie should win. Good grief.

I'm gonna go listen to Judy Live at Carnegie Hall and wallow.
