Hello Greg and Lisa,
‘Receiving the Oscar Poll makes me hopeful for spring, even on a night like tonight(filled with snow and sleet!)
Has there ever been a year where a movie about a speech therapist appears to be the front-runner?!

Best to you both!

Sue

My guesses for the Oscar poll special questions:

“Ac-Cen-Tchu-Ate the Positive” lyrics by Johnny Mercer (music by one of my favorite composers, Harold Arlen)
Is it from the Bing Crosby pic-tcha “Here Come the Waves”?

Hi Kevin,
Congratulations!!! You were the first person to correctly answer trivia question number 1. Unfortunately, you missed on question number 2. Johnny Mercer’s version of “Ac-Cen-Tchu-Ate the Positive” may have been played in any number of movies. To the best of my knowledge, it played over the ending title credits of only one Academy award winning film, and that film wasn’t “Here Come the Waves”.

Hi Lisa and Greg,

I love the academy awards! Enjoy the show.

Love, Dana

Accentuate the Positive by Jonny Mercer. I don’t know the movie.

February 25, 2011

Accentuate the Positive written by Harold Arlen and sung by Johnny Mercer.
Played on the Disney movie “Jungle Book”

Thanks for allowing me to choose my options...so important in these days of stripping people of their rights.
By the way, 1935, best movie ,”Lullaby of Broadway”, song, “cheek to “cheek”, music by’Top Hat’, music and lyrics by Irving Berlin.
I hope you’re both well, and keeping the faith...hopefully, democracy will prevail and our 50 year negotiation tradition will continue. ‘On Wisconsin’!

Thanks for all your help. I’m sure to get at least 1 or 2 correct . . . all by myself I’d probably get a zero.
Good luck with your total response!

Is the trivia answer Johnny Mercer and Johnny Mercer in LA Confidential?

Let James Franco be James Franco! Or Cher!!!

I mean it!

Hi Christine,
Congratulations!!! Although three or four people correctly guessed the song and the singer before you, you are the first contestant to correctly name the movie in which the Johnny Mercer and Harold Arlen song “Ac-Cen-Tchu-Ate the Positive” appeared over the ending title credits; therefore the winners of our annual trivia contest are Kevin Wyderka and Christine Prevetti. Good job!!! Your prize? You get to keep your collective bargaining rights!!! Yippee. I mean it too.

Who is Hoagy Carmichael, Alex? But I don’t know the answer to question two. You’ll have to ask Watson.

February 27, 2011
Posted by Chris Payerl

Is it Hoagy Carmichael or Harold Arlen? I’m guessing one of those two. Head resonance, don’t you know. I think the movie is “The Jungle Book.” Either that or “Last Tango in Paris.” HA!

February 27, 2011

OOPS! I meant to say Cee-lo instead of Harold Arlen.

February 27, 2011

LA Confidential is the movie. Johnny Mercer is the singer.

Thank you for the pole again this year.

Hi Greg!

Thanks for doing this Oscar poll year after year. I received the link years ago from my friend Heather Skumatz and it’s great fun picking who I think will win and who deserves to win.

It’s also nice to see the tally the day after....

Go King’s Speech! Go Colin Firth!

Song by Mercer and Arlen
appeared in several films...could this be “Here comes the waves?

Sounds a bit like Bobby Darren...but its not..who is it?

Hi Greg -
Wishing you a very happy Birthday. Sorry I can’t make it up to Milwaukee for the “open house” to help you celebrate. I’ll be thinking of you. Enjoy!

Cheers!

Happy 61st Greg. I’m home in the hot dry air of NM. It’s crazy how many fires have broken out here. No fireworks this year by the common types, just some organized ones manned by firepersons and trucks. All parks and open spaces and nat. forests are closed here in ABQ area, in SF and in Taos all because of fire danger. We always get a rains storm right before the 4th. The clouds are mounting as I type. Happy Birthday to you, la la lala la laaaa....xdi

Dear Greg, Happy birthday wishes to you! Sorry that I couldn’t stop in for your celebration but I was at a wedding that day. Well how does it feel to be 61? Contemplating retirement? Not me, in fact I’m job hunting! Got laid off from CSM this week. I’ve been there 17 years! So if you hear of any OT job openings from your vast friend network, let me know, OK?. It was very nice of you to call me with birthday wishes. How thoughtful of you! Hope you have a wonderful Independence day weekend. Thanks for fighting the good fight with Madison. I’m on State Rep Kapenga’s e-newsletter list so I’m keeping an eye on what the opposition is thinking/planning. Take Care, Jeanne

Hi Greg! Hope you had a wonderful birthday. I would have liked to attend the open house but I was up in Manitowish Waters--lovely! Anyhoo a belated happy birthday to you.

Belated Happy Birthday, Greg. For a few hours there I thought I might actually be able to attend on the 2nd, but plans fell through. Did see the Woody Allen movie that night, however, so it wasn’t a total loss!

GP-Fabulous,

Hey! If the Crew matches up with the Atlanta Braves this year in the first round of the playoffs (like its shaping up to be) are we heading down for some games??? Whats up!?!? Seriously, we should. Unless you are afraid of that guy whose elephant ear (or whatever snack that was) you tried eating will be waiting for you????
