Moving Pictures (2015 Oscars Opening Song) Neil Patrick Harris (Ft. Anna Kendrick & Jack Black)

[NEIL, spoken]
Wow, check out this place
Check out everything

(sung)
Check out the glamour, the glitter
People tweeting on the Twitter
And no one's drunk and bitter yet 'cause no one has lost
Look at the diamond, the dresses
People going to excesses
The stress is on and everybody's fingers are crossed

I know the camera's on and we're behaving our best
Yet, I secretly hope someone pulls a Kanye West
But we are here tonight with our Xanax and Dior
Thank you, lists and publicists, who fought the Oscar war
Tonight we toast what we love most
And I am thrilled to be your host
'Cause all of it is for...

Moving pictures, shadows and lies
Like a magic trick done in plain sight
Why do we love them? Why do we care?
When they're just moving pictures that aren't really there

But then I think of Chaplin and Monroe and Argo and Fargo
Or when Marty made his car go back in time at the mall
And then there's Bardot and Brando and Billy Dee as Lando
Or when Sharon went commando and unsettled us all
I gasp when Indy goes back for his hat
Or when I think off all the tension between Ben and Matt...
