Amy Adams to make an Oscar appearance after all?
Poor Amy Adams didn't manage a slot in today's field of Best Actress nominees, but her "Enchanted" character is the voice behind all three of those Best Original Song nominations the film racked up today. So maybe she'll get a spot on Oscar's stage after all!"Happy Woking Song," "So Close" and "That's How You Know" are each substantial song and dance set pieces from the Disney film, which took in over $120 million at domestic box offices and won the award for Best Family Film at the Critics' Choice Awards two weeks ago. Adams was also nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. "That's How You Know" picked up a nomination from the group as well.
Last year, the three nominated tracks from "Dreamgirls" were combined into a rather impressive medly. Perhaps this year's Oscar telecast -- should the show make it past the death grip of the writers' strike -- could stitch together a similar block of tunage for this musical extravaganza? It would be delightful to see Adams make an appearance in this capacity and would certainly prove to be a light-hearted moment in an affair set to be dominated by the dark and drab films of the 2007 film awards season.
And by "dark and drab," I include the sad-but-true fact that Eddie Vedder will not be gracing the stage with his powerful crooning an songwriting expertise. Regardless, the award seems all but secure for Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová's "Once" ditty "Falling Slowly."

Was that really Amy Adams dancing on the 3rd nominated Enchanted song?
