Watch the Epic Performance of 'Everything Is Awesome' From 'The LEGO Movie' at the Oscars
by Andy Neuenschwander
The Academy Awards had some high points this year. Neil Patrick Harris had a few good jokes, Idina Menzel got John Travolta back for last year's gaffe, and Lady Gaga reminded us that she can sing.
But nothing topped the musical performance of "Everything Is Awesome" from "The Lego Movie."
The song, which was performed by Tegan & Sara as well as SNL-based music comedy trio The Lonely Island, was the weirdest and most wonderful thing to happen during the telecast.
Certainly, Common and John Legend deserved their win for "Glory," which prompted a standing ovation from the crowd and brought both David Oyelowo and Chris Pine to tears.
"Everything Is Awesome," however, deserves some kind of runner-up award for being completely weird. There were LEGO Oscar trophies. Oprah got one.
Easily the best thing about it, though, is that Will Arnett joined the performance in a full-on Batman suit.
Just watch it. You won't regret it. Unless you have trouble with lots of flashing bright colors and stuff, in which case avert your eyes.
