Sorry, Arnzilla. This one's going over my head. What does Travolta's intro to the Frozen song have to do with TWOWS? I know I am going to feel dumb after you tell me. btw,his face looks frozen.

John Travolta's tribute to TWOWS:

Oh, I do so love Richard Brody of The New Yorker, an excerpt below from his Oscar report

There are the movies, and that’s where the far end of the bell curve is served. The fact that the best movies went home empty-handed—“The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Nebraska”—is beside the point. If my own internal audio-meter is to be trusted, two of the biggest rounds of applause and cheers of the night went to Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill, for their performances in Martin Scorsese’s movie. Taking nothing away from the honorable but conventional performances by McConaughey and Leto, the house of peers seemed to know where the magic lay. That its magicians were even on hand for the festivities, watching others collect statues, is itself a source of wonder. The movie has already passed into the future history of the cinema, and it will be watched with admiration and astonishment when the petty personality politics of the ceremony have passed into welcome oblivion. In the meantime, bring on the four-hour director’s cut of “Wolf” (and may it have a little theatrical run to coincide with the DVD release).

Joshua, Travolta fucked-up Idina Menzel`s name. Like he was on ludes. Arnz was making a joke.

Peanut, thanks for the Brody piece.

Nas, thanks for cluing me in about the joke. Very funny.

btw, you can John Travoltalize your name. Martin Scorsese for example is Morgan Scooper.
