I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train... ♪ ♫
At the 73rd Academy Awards ceremony, in 2001, Bob Dylan won the Oscar for best original song (in a movie).
There's a wonderful video on You Tube with seven minutes of that show: it has three segments --
1st, there's Bob Dylan performing the song, live, at the awards show -- he is in Sydney, Australia, so it's via satellite.
2nd, the presenter of the award, Jennifer Lopez, announces each of the nominees, the name of their song, and the movie it was in. Then she announces the winner -- she opens the envelope and says his name, "Bob Dylan."
3rd - Dylan gives a nice, brief, and unique acceptance speech -- more like an Acceptance Sound-Bite, maybe.
The whole thing is fantastic. The song -- and Jennifer Lopez does everything perfectly, respectfully, with elegance, poise, and perfect diction. "And the winner is -- [envelope] -- Bob - Dylan." No bumbling, no crying, no messing about, no assault and battery. She is so perfect, in everything she does.
