The Academy Says "I'm Easy"

"The Weary Kind" from Crazy Heart will win the Best Song Oscar. Why? Because the movie plays it up big. It's written by the main character, whom everyone keeps saying (in the movie) is a great songwriter. It symbolizes all his travails (in the movie). There's a whole scene in the movie about what a great song it is, and it's performed in the final sequence to remind us how great it is.

The song itself? It's okay. Sort of a generic country lament. But the entire experience of the movie backs up the song. So voters will figure it means more than it is.
