Maybe, just MAYBE last year’s Oscar telecast wasn’t quite as awful as we thought.
We all remember how James Franco’s drag bit tanked and that Anne Hathaway’s perkiness was worthy of a thousand tranquilizers – but did either of them sing a duet of Proud Mary with Snow White?
No?
Then it could’ve been worse.
Much, much worse.
Here’s the proof.
This is a video clip of the 1989 Academy Award’s opening number. While the whole musical production is a tremendously cheesy disaster – it’s the mind-numbingly awful Disney sing-a-long between Rob Lowe and Snow White that pushes it over the top.
Just a warning: the routine was choreographed by Allan Carr, the man who brought you such hits as Grease 2 and The Village People’s Can’t Stop the Music.
Awful is relative, my friends.
