I was completely sure Sting was going to get the Oscar since he is a big favourite of the Academy. I’m so happy! REALLY HAPPY!!!

I am so happy. IMHO, it was the best song and Annie Lennox was superb!

Jud (moderator) said on March 1, 2004 16:07:

but does Annie sing during the song? :S

Yeah, she does. A nice song :)

Roxlander said on March 1, 2004 17:36:

As far as I remember she sings only at the end of the movie. And yes, that song deserved it, beautiful!
