Who Won The Oscar 1936

 

It’s been crazy weather..we went all the way up to 32C (89.6F) for the last 3 days and now we are down to 16C (60.8F). Work is crazy from the clients to stress that we must get the stragglers in before June 30th or their Consumer Proposals and Bankruptcies will be opposed and rejected. I am not sure how I will get through them all but it must get done. Last night I had an idiot for 6pm who finally called me at 6:45pm. She picked up stuff at the groceries and got her nails done completely forgetting about this Mandatory appointment that she asked for, because she can only do these appointments at 6pm because of work. Since the first session must be done in the first 60 days, I took her because my next free 6pm isn’t until the middle of July. I wish I could say that she got into debt due to illness, loss of job, marital breakdown but, nope, she went back to school, at 48( which is great), got the credit cards and wanted a truck so bought a big ass truck. She didn’t realize how much interest there would be so now she did a Proposal. Ughhhh! 

Ok, I bitched enough:) It is freebie week over at Monday Music Moves Me and it is time to see if you know who won the Oscar for Best Song of 1936. Let’s see if you can guess which song won the Oscar, which was nominated and which came up empty-handed. It’s a huge year for great songs, by the way.

1. I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN SUNG BY VIRGINIA BRUCE

This song is from the musical, “Born To Dance” starring Eleanor Powell and James Stewart ( who sang “Easy To Love” and, as he even said, he couldn’t screw it up since it’s such a great song) and sung by the ethereal Virginia Bruce as the other gal. All the songs were composed by Cole Porter.

2. A FINE ROMANCE SUNG BY FRED ASTAIRE AND GINGER ROGERS

This is a great song, written by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields from the Astaire/Rogers film, “Swing Time.” It is sung by the 2 with a hopeful Astaire trying to woo the jaded Rogers. They each sing it I. The style of their emotions and it works so well. I love the chemistry of these 2 greats.

3. THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT SUNG BY FRED ASTAIRE

Another great song from the film, “Swing Time”  written by Kern and Fields where Astaire serenades Rogers who dissed him just before she washes her hair. It’s a beautiful song.

So which one won the Oscar, which was nominated and which came up empty-handed?
