Wait, what? Barbra Streisand died???

“…lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes…”

Cue Barbara!

Babs is doing her 1970s lounge singer impression.

No, this is perfectly justified. He wrote a ton of Oscar nominated and winning songs.

Barbra doesn’t look like herself anymore

:stuck_out_tongue:

But that ain’t just “somebody”. That’s Barbra.

But this is just for Hamlisch. I can respect that. Having somebody croon a mournful tune while the pictures of the departed scroll by was really tacky and hopefully gone forever into the pit of terrible Oscar ideas (Hi, Rob Lowe! How’s Snow White doing down there?).

Good for her. Hardto believe she’s 71…

I snickered.

Close the damn thread. I’m laughing my ass off.

Don’t get your hopes up. Kristen Stewart is apparently going to star in some flick about a shoe designer, and a sequel to *Snow White and the Huntsman, as well as a new romantic comedy.

And instead they got Barbra. :stuck_out_tongue:

Although it’s only tangentially a movie song, I’d have liked to see “What I Did For Love” from A Chorus Line to represent Marvin Hamlisch.

Maybe for the Tonys.

Barbera looks like a damn mummy.

Radcliffe is really short.

Looked like Barbra could rip out Siegfried or Roy’s throat with those nails.

lol at the Rex Reed joke.

Gere, Latifah, Zellwegger and Jones. A downright weird combination.

Damn, those are some impressive microphone stands!

(Yes, I’m a huge geek.)

I wasn’t complaining about Hamlisch being included. I was remarking that Uncle Jocko’s comment might have been wishful thinking. Streisand did, however, seem to be saluting only Hamlisch instead of the whole death roll.
