Well it was great news when Bret McKenzie was nominated for an Oscar, and it was pretty awesome to see one half of the Flight of the Conchords win that Oscar. Bret McKenzie won his first ever nomination. I watched the whole show to see it, and I might add that this moment was the most fun during the show, especially with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis presenting the award. The rest of the show was a waste though.

Anyways I'll keep it short. Congrats Bret McKenzie, it was well deserved.

And sorry for posting this late, I was going to post it the night of, but been far too busy as of late.

Oscar Nominee Bret McKenzie on Conan

Last night, Bret was a guest star on Conan Show. He was the best.



You gotta win, Bret!

And the Oscar nomination goes to... Bret McKenzie!

Bret McKenzie has been nominated for Best Original Song Academy Award for The Muppets track "Man or Muppet". Can you believe it?

CONGRATULATIONS BRET!

He's got only one contestant to defeat, "Real in Rio" from Rio (Jemaine voiced Nigel, the bad cocatoo in it). Luckily, Jem didn't write this song, so the boys don't stand against each other.

I so hope Bret wins!

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I've posted here. Been fairly busy and I haven't had the chance to update anything for a while.

Anyways Bret dropped by the Los Angeles radio station KCRW. He was there to pick out his five favorite songs that inspired him throughout his entire life. Parts of each song were played over the air for everyone to enjoy. Bret discusses why he loves these songs.

I understand this doesn't have anything to do with Flight of the Conchords, but it has to do with one of my other favorite shows on TV right now. NBC has recently put Community on hiatus for a while after the Holiday season, when it will come back is unknown. The show was benched to make way for 30 Rock which is supposed to air sometime next year. This is not good as a hiatus usually brings a future cancellation.

Anyways a bunch of fans, like myself are trying to make sure the show does not get cancelled. Now this doesn't officially mean Community will be cancelled, but it's not a good sign either as a cancellation is more likely to happen. Right now we can fight this and hopefully get Community to stick around for a few more seasons, or for #SixSeasonsAndAMovie.

Here's how you can help, sign the petition here to save Community from being kicked from the mid-season schedule: http://www.save-community.com/ It's almost at 50,000 and would be even better if we could get up to 100,000 or more. You can also tweet these hash tags for support: #SaveCommunity #Sixseasonsandamovie #SaveGreendale #OccupyNBC #OccupyGreendale and more.

You can also contact NBC by letter by writing to: Robert Greenblatt to NBC Universal, 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, CA 91608. Or you can e-mail them about it and tell them how you feel.

You can also send them felt beards in support of the show, I plan to do that very soon here.

There's also a great tumblr site where you can post your picture in support of the show, check it out here: http://welovecommunity.tumblr.com/

You can also go to the NBC store and purchase Community merchandise, it's one way you can show NBC you care.

One last thing folks, make sure you tweet, or write on your Facebook wall that Community is new tonight on NBC at 8PM EST. Don't forget to miss it, we want to keep Community on the air. You can use any social networking site you want, just get the news out there that we need to save Community. Lets get this show to six seasons and a movie.

Tweet it, sign it, write them, Facebook it, send in a felt beard and or do whatever you can to help.

Bret and The Muppets

It's been quite some time since this blog has been updated, not a whole lot has been going on in the world of Flight of the Conchords. Wish I could keep you all updated about FotC this and that, but I may have to start bringing this blog up as a "My favorite shows" blog. Changes may be made in the coming weeks if I feel up to it.

Anyways Bret McKenzie did a short interview about being the music supervisor for the new Muppets movie. It's only 56 seconds long, so by short I meant really short. Check it out below:
