Matt at Gotcha Media shows us the YouTube video of the Oscars trailer – funny because he says, “The Oscars are making a big deal about this “trailer” directed by John Singleton. It’s on YouTube, but embedding is disabled, ensuring that far less people will see it.” I’m not sure if he means that they intentionally made it impossible to see, thus ensuring no viral effect, thus dampening any potential excitement, thus, etc. Or if he means once they see it is on YouTube they will have it taken down. Either way, here it is.

Am I missing something? I is quite generic. And can we find some new voice over artist please.
I´m not impressed. Don´t like this computer animation stuff, too synthetic…
That’s it? That trailer has been on Oscar.com for about two weeks already. That can’t be John Singleton’s trailer. Like dela said, I too would expect much more from Singleton. This trailer is bland beyond belief.
They probably paid him enough for a mansion, I think the director is more concerned with giving them something that seems right, than artistic.
Indian Cab Driver, Indian Best Picture Winner?
This trailer is old news. It airs like 50 times a day on Finnish tv (Channel 4, that shows the Oscars live here). We have a female Finnish voice over on this trailer, though.
Seriously? That’s it?
This is not the trailer. It was supossed to have Hugh Jackman in it. And it’s been in YouTube for two weeks…
This trailer has been on ABC for the past 3 weeks, at least.
God, was I yawning…I completely wanted to hear ‘Starry Eyed Surprise’ like in that Diet Coke commercial to wake me up.
This is not the trailer I just saw over at http://laineygossip.com . That trailer had clips from all the nominated films, grouping similar moments together. Nicely done, so I assume it was Singleton’s.
I saw this in a theater last night and I had the same response as others are having: “that’s it?”
The YouTube version must be unfinished or something, because the version I saw in the theater had Hugh Jackman standing on the stairs when the announcer said “hosed by Hugh Jackman.” In the YouTube version it pauses there but there’s no Jackman.
AND?!
Rope of Silicon has the one with Hugh in it.

Yup no big woop. Even with Hugh intact.
We have been seeing this on Canadian commercials for a while now.
Is this what some of you were referring to?
This one has the montage.

“from country to country”
Oh god! slumdog is going to sweep ( *rolls eyes*)
The one linked in comment 16 is real nice. I also like the one that I’ve seen on TV in the past week or so that says “xxx # of animators, xxx # of costume designers, xxx # of writers”, etc. I’m a sucker for those kind of montages. The first time I recall them actually using clips from the nominated movies in the ads too.
