One of the best movies we saw last year, Once, took the Oscar last night for Best Song. Rightfully so, we might add. In what really was the best moment of the otherwise boring event (one week for the writers being back wasn’t enough), we were happy to see that the Academy got it right. Check out the performance of “Falling Slowly” from Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova below, as well as their heartfelt acceptance speeches. Congrats Glen and Marketa, you really did deserve it and we are happy to see that other people out there agree!
