‘Young’ Mick Jagger was a surprise addition to the Academy Awards on Sunday when, like a rolling stone, ‘the complete unknown’, presented ‘Best Original Song’ instead of ‘old’ Bob Dylan.
Mick said in his presentation, “As much as I love doing it I wasn’t the first choice. They really wanted Bob Dylan to do this. Bob didn’t want to do it because he said the best songs this year were obviously in the movie ‘A Complete Unknown’. Bob said, ‘you should find somebody younger’. I said ‘okay I’m younger. I’m younger than Bob. I’ll do it’. So here I am”.
The Oscars best original song went to El Mar – Emilia Pérez.
