Two recently released music videos come to mind that interact with the film community. One of an Oscar winning song and the other by an Oscar winning artist.
BLAME IT (Jamie Foxx):
Now how come this video doesn't trigger epilepsy?
This video has been getting a lot of attention. Mostly for it's odd cameos of parading Oscar nominees. Samuel L. Jackson (which isn't too strange), Forest Whitaker (getting in strange territory), Jake Gylenhall (?????), and Ron Howard (seriously wtf!). And they do no more than the regular club video cameo; enjoy big booty girls dancing around them seductively and raising their glasses. I seriously need to know what it took to get these people involved in something like this. All of them (bar Jackson) are extremely careful about their choice of movie roles, yet they'll act foolish in a "Blame it on the alcohol video" featuring T-Pain? I thought better of Whitaker and Howard. Gylenhall, not so much, I mean he was the Bubble Boy.
As catchy as the song is, I do wish Jamie Foxx would show more originality and not jump on the T-Pain/club video bandwagon.

Why is Nicole Scherzinger the only active member in PSD, yet failed miserably as a solo artist?
As much as I despise the Pussycat Dolls, I'll give them credit for this. The tone of Slumdog Millionaire's original Jai-Ho fits them perfectly and the little tidbits of distinct PSD don't bother me too much. I still really like the song and with this version at least I can listen to it in English.
