Oscar - February 27, 2011

"About 41.3 million people in the United States watched the Oscars ceremony last year, a 14 percent increase from the year before. The increase was mostly attributed to the Academy’s somewhat controversial decision to double the number of best-picture nominees to 10, opening the door to popular pictures like “The Blind Side,” “Up” and “District 9.”

The ceremony was shorter than in years past, clocking in at about three hours and 12 minutes."
Text of the New York Times

Listen to the song by Avril Lavigne, that will be in her new album.




You say that I'm messing with your head
All 'cause I was making out with your friend
Love hurts whether it's right or wrong
I can't stop 'cause I'm having too much fun

You're on your knees 
Begging please, 
Stay with me
But honestly
I just need to be a little crazy

All my life I've been good, but now
Ah, I'm thinking "what the hell"
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about
If you love me, if you hate me
You can't save me, baby, baby
All my life I've been good, but now
Whoa, what the hell

What? What? What? What the hell?

So what if I go out on a million dates
You never call or listen to me anyway
I'd rather rage than sit around and wait all day
Don't get me wrong, I just need some time to play

You're on your knees 
Begging please, 
stay with me
But honestly
I just need to be a little crazy

All my life I've been good, but now
Ah, I'm thinking "what the hell"
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about
If you love me, if you hate me
You can't save me, baby, baby
All my life I've been good, but now
Whoa, what the hell

La la la la la la la la
Whoa, whoa
La la la la la la la la
Whoa, whoa

You say that I'm messing with your head, boy
I like messing in your bed
Yeah, I'm messing with your head
When I'm messing with you in bed

All my life I've been good, but now
Ah, I'm thinking "what the hell"
All I want is to mess around
And I don't really care about
If you love me, if you hate me
You can't save me, baby, baby
All my life I've been good, but now
Whoa, what the hell

La la la la la la la la
