If anyone was wondering why Mary J. Blige looked as if someone had murdered her entire family on Live With Kelly this morning, then clearly you didn't hear about the Oscar nominations. The Help managed to snatch a few nominations, including for Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. After being snubbed at the Golden Globes for Masterpiece, Madonna's W.E. song that no one but her hardcore fans have heard Mary J. Blige’s original song for the film, “The Living Proof” ended up getting snubbed again.
After being dissed by the Academy, Mary didn't mince words when she took to Twitter to vent on the lack of support from people who wouldn't know a real song with depth if it smacked them upside the head and begged you to call them "Daddy!"
“I’m so thankful for true fans like you all,” the singer tweeted. “It saddens me & feels like the Academy is being mean. 2 only nominate 2 of the 5 slots is…” She then trailed off, filling her Twitter feed with retweets of her fans’ messages of support.
I actually agree that The Living Proof being snubbed again is ridiculous. I am a fan of Madonna, but I am realistic to say that Mary's song was more known than Madonna's. I mean a song from the Muppets movie and the Rio film get a nomination over Mary? Really? Sometimes they get ut right, but as usual they get it mostly wrong. Fingers crossed they don't diss you at the Grammy's in 2013.
