re: Anne Hathaway does a good cover song, therefor is front runner for Oscar?

the point being that she didn't just hold her own in that scene, she fricking KILLED it.

Most people I've spoken with or read articles from have said that was clearly the defining scene in the movie. Considering the difficulty of the scene in itself, and then her executing it at such a high level it blows away anything else that's going to be out there in that category.

Think of it as her Heisman moment. Hers will be so much better than anyone else's and since SAs don't carry movies, there isn't much else to go up against it.

This seems so slam dunk to me.
