ONE DAY MORE: THE OSCAR VERSION

Billy Crystal’s not the only one who can read minds. I’ve written some new lyrics to show you what our nominees will be thinking on the day BEFORE the ceremony - when there's ONE DAY MORE to go. For those who don’t have the song memorized, I’ve included the film’s version here so that you can listen along as you read. Enjoy!




One Day More! (The Oscar Version)

DANIEL DAY-LEWIS
One day more!
Another role for the Academy.
This method-acted road to Oscar three;
I play a president who died,
My statue must not be denied.

STEVEN SPIELBERG:
One day more!

ANNE HATHAWAY:
Tom Hooper let me cry and scream,
He cut my hair and tore my dress up,

TOM HOOPER:
One day more.

HATHAWAY & HUGH JACKMAN:
He said he’d let us dream a dream,
And even shoot it all in close-up.

JESSICA CHASTAIN, EMMANUELLE RIVA & QUVENZHANE WALLIS:
Chastain: Can’t we reward strong women?
Riva & Wallis: Will Oscar make history?
Chastain: Even those that are directors?
Riva & Wallis: For the young or for the old?
Chastain: Find Osama Bin Laden,
Riva & Wallis: Give our indie films a chance!
Chastain: Lose to manic pixie girl.

PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN, TOMMY LEE JONES, ALAN ARKIN, CHRISTOPH WALTZ, ROBERT DE NIRO:
HOFFMAN: Who will be the master now?
JONES: I looked better in the wig.
ARKIN: They picked me over John Goodman.
WALTZ: Momentum is on my side!
JONES: Twenty years now since I won.
WALTZ: Good thing Leo isn’t here!
DE NIRO: Do I really need a third?

THE WORLD:
You’ve won before, so no one cares!

BENH ZEITLIN:
One day more!

BEN AFFLECK:
Though you snubbed me as director,
I will claim your highest prize!
I will beat out Steven Spielberg,
Bring tears to Matt Damon’s eyes!

DAVID O. RUSSELL:
One day more!

BRADLEY COOPER & JENNIFER LAWRENCE:
Rom-coms can be good.
Rom-coms can have themes.
Love can cure all illnesses and it is free!
Do a little dance.
Football helps a bunch.
Our films have made millions so you must love us!

ALL THE TECHNICAL NOMINEES (IN TWO GROUPS):

I’ll win the most! From all the techs!

MICHAEL HANEKE:
Un jour de plus!

SETH MCFARLANE (IN FOREGROUND)
I am here to entertain you.
I’m a hit among the youth.
I’ll be better than James Franco.
And I promise that’s the truth.

Always nominees
Never get the gold.

Until we both get old.

What our God Harvey Weinstein has in store!
