I was thinking the exact same thing. They only had two weeks to do it. Perhaps they did try to make it but couldn't get it done on time.OscarGuy wrote:Which is amazing, Damien, especially considering the other two songs, including So Close, were performed with dancers...The way it was staged though, I almost thought perhaps they were wanting to do CGI but just didn't get it done...

I thought Roy Christopher's design on Falling Slowly was brilliant. It, as best as it could, re-created the scene in which the song is sung in the film. Terrific idea.

"Happy Working" is not the kind of song that should be sung all alone on a vast stage. What a terrible misconception that was! There should have been at least some dancers dressed up as bugs and vermin.

I think it's more fun to get the production numbers. Some of what they've done in the past has been dreadfully boring.
Though, I am disappointed they didn't give Chenoweth a louder mic. She was dwarfed by all around her and I know she's got the lungs to best them all.
