    Nice to see Paul's song nominated. It's an excellent song, and one that has a ring of sincerity and authenticity to it, coming from a 67 year old songwriter. Bravo, Paul, and good luck!

    My first reaction was "Come on, Is this a joke?" It's hard to believe it was nominated for Best song.

    But what do I know, right ?

    I'm afraid he'll lose to Randy Newman again. (And Newman is at least as old as Paul.) His (Newman's) song is in a Disney movie (The Princess and the Frog) that is doing boffo at the box office and has the added benefit of having the first animated African American princess, which will garner even greater attention by the voters. Paul's is in a movie that dropped quickly out of the top ten after just a week of being released.

    As of this post, Paul has 63% of the fan vote on the site. I do agree that Randy Newman in a popular Disney flick is a strong contendah.
