As promised, during the conclusion, the Oscar show producers used the credit section — which nobody reads anyhow — as a way to get viewers to tune in for three or four minutes more (gotta get those Nielsen families) and debuted never-before seen clips from new movies like “Sherlock Holmes,” Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies,” “Funny People,” Woody Allen’s “Whatever Works,” Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds,” “Terminator Salvation” and many, many more, mostly studio-guided movies. The summer blockbuster-centric clips were kinda underwhelming frankly as each film got about eight seconds of footage on screen, but for people dying to see anything, well, it’s something… It was nice to see something not-so tentpole-ish/mainstream film like “An Education” make the cut too.
Oh and the song, as Playlist contrib Jonathan Helm points out is: Beck‘s cover of Bob Dylan‘s “Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat” from the new War Child compilation CD. Nice work, Jonathan.
