The Queen of R & B got shut down by the Oscars, Mary J. Blige didn’t hear her name called when nominations for the 84th Annual Academy Awards were announced yesterday. The discouraged singer took to Twitter to address the snub.
Mary J. Blige says she’s sad that her song “The Living Proof” from the film “The Help” didn’t pick up an Oscar nomination on Tuesday. The R&B superstar was on “Live with Kelly” yesterday promoting the movie as a co-host with the Kelly Ripa.
Mary sent out a tweet after the nominations were announced saying that it “feels like the Academy is being mean” by only nominating two songs.
Mary added that she remains “thankful” to all the “true fans.” “The Living Proof” was looking to be a nominee for Best Original Song.
While there are usually five nominees, this year the Academy only selected two songs for the category. Bret McKenzie’s “Man or Muppet” from “The Muppets” made the cut, as did Sergio Mendes’ “Real in Rio” from the film “Rio.
”The 84th Academy Awards will take place on February 26th and air live on ABC. Here’s her live performance of “The Living Proof on Live with Kelly.
