Great performance, decent but predictable film, and one huge question: how in the world are they going to perform the Best Song nominee "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" when it has lyrics like these? I know they brought in Robin Williams to get around some of the lines in "Blame Canada" a few years back, but this is a much, much more profane song.
