More so than the fashion, and the winners and the speeches, THE moment that moved us the most was when the PS 22 Chorus from Staten Island performed Over The Rainbow at the end of the Academy Awards telecast on Sunday night.
They really did save the best for last!!!!
The Oscars wouldn't be what they are without the help and nurturing of teachers like Gregg Breinberg, who has been guiding the students at the PS 22 Chorus for close to a decade.
We've been supporting him and his work for years now and it really moved us so deeply and brought us to tears to see how far he has come! But not just him. That performance was a reminder, a call to action that arts education is vital!
DO NOT cut arts education in schools!!!!
DEMAND IT!!!!
Watch the kids' beautiful and touching performance (above)!
Other memorable moments were?
Kirk Douglas, Billy Crystal, the dude who thanked his boyfriend when The King's Speech won. And, uhm? yeah, there weren't THAT MANY memorable moments this year.
We don't blame Anne or James, though. They're both actors and not comedians or hosts. However, Franco did seem out of it and Hathaway carried the weight of the show on her shoulders!
Now that it's all been said and done?
What were YOUR favorite moments of the 2011 Academy Awards???
