Come Oscar nomination morning, sometimes you show a little more, sometimes you show a little less. You know we stan Diane Warren, and this week, we\u2019re talking about Burlesque<\/i>. Yes, back in 2010, even this new camp classic earned it\u2019s flashes of Oscar hope, as most post-Chicago<\/i> musicals did. While it was the big screen return of legend, icon, and star Cher that spelled some Oscar potential, it was ultimately her big ballad written by Warren \u201cYou Haven\u2019t Seen the Last of Me\u201d that was the film\u2019s closest brush with Oscar.<\/p>\n
This week, freelance comic book\/TV\/film\/dance Oliver Sava joins us to talk about the film that earned equal parts side-eye and earnest affection as a throwback to 1940s musicals by way of The Pussycat Dolls and the screen debut of Christina Aguilera. Burlesque was also a Best Picture – Musical\/Comedy nominee in a year much maligned among awards voters, and the nomination earns our affection, along with the film.<\/p>\n
We also look back at the legacy of Diane Warren as a pop hitmaker and the diminishing returns of her Oscar nominations. Topics also include Burlesque<\/i>\u2019s copying of The Devil Wear\u2019s Prada<\/i>\u2019s formula, unfortunate Freudian slips with Stanley Tucci, and – duh – air rights!<\/p>\n
