“Peaches” (The Super Mario Bros. Movie) is the textbook definition of a silly pipe dream. Let’s not kid ourselves, the song is just not substantial enough to be worth a BOS discussion—a luxury songs like “Can You Hear Me Now” (The Art of Self-Defense), “The Dead Don’t Die” (The Dead Don’t Die), “Lost in the Woods” (Frozen II), and last year’s “Lucky Ducks” (The Bob’s Burgers Movie) didn’t even receive.

As far as new releases that have come out so far, there’s only one theoretical contender in my book at the moment:

<span class=”embed-youtube” style=”text-align:center; display: block;”>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WydRjcfQUhM?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent%5D</span&gt;

There are multiple reasons why “Peaches” won’t get nominated. But a man can dream because I have listened to it more than almost any other song released in 2022 and 2023. But yeah, it’s not gonna happen, but it would be cool.

“Peaches” by Jack Black, written for The Super Mario Bros. Movie cracked the Billboard Hot 100 at #83.

What the hell? I mean it’s a good song but I did not expect that. I like it when novelty/comedy songs crack the Hot 100.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie probably isn’t going to get in any major awards for Best Animated Feature, but I will say that I have seen an overwhelmingly positive response from audience members seeing the film.

I am trying my best to be as open-minded as I possibly can, but the current system that they have for the Oscars IMO works fine. It gives me actors an opportunity to get nominated. If they stuck to just acting in general without gender in mind, half of the potential nominees would be cut.

It doesn’t have a shot in hell, but if “Peaches” could get in for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it would easily be my favourite Original Song nomination since “Everything is Awesome”. The film is taking over the Internet and shattered box office records and the song is one of the few things that critics unanimously praised. Plus it peaked at #14 on iTunes.

But I still think it isn’t going to get in.

There were over 130 Mario songs in the score, you know.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie made more money on its opening weekend than any animated film in history. $375,000,000+ in just 5 days.

Also, the original song “Peaches” sung by Jack Black, which peaked at #14 on iTunes, is eligible for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Interestingly, the RT score has raised 9 points in one day.

Reviews have come in. While the film has received largely mixed reviews from critics, it looks like the audiences from what I have seen on social media have been very positive.

It seems to me like this is a movie that fans of Mario will love, but those who have no interest or no idea about the franchise will think is just mid.

Still I am excited to see it, and expect this film to CLEAN UP at the box office.

Arcane was one of the best television dramas of the previous year.

Yeah but there isn’t enough mainstream artists right now that identify as non-binary to have a category. Though I guess it would be interesting if there were a bunch of unknowns in the “Best Song by a Gender Non-Conforming Artist” if that was the case.

I doubt any TMNT film will ever get an Oscar nomination, let alone in Animated Feature.

The film is projected to make $100 million domestically on the opening weekend. It opens on April 5th and plays through the Easter long weekend.

Folks, Mario is going to DOMINATE the box office.

I completely forgot that The Color Purple got 0 Oscars. That’s insane, though to be fair 1985 was a really strong year for film.
