How many Oscars have Mickey Rourke and Peter Gabriel won?
Peter Gabriel – who co-wrote and performed the song “Down to Earth” for the Disney/Pixar film WALL-E – announced that he won’t be performing the Oscar-nominated tune on the telecast. Gabriel explained on his monthly video blog that his decision is “a little protest” against the fact that the tune has been compacted into a 60-second snippet, during a medley in the middle of the Oscar telecast. Peter Gabriel Will Not Sing Nominated “Down to Earth” at Oscars “I’ve decided to withdraw from the ceremony,” Gabriel said about his decision. “I’ll still go, but I won’t be performing.” He hopes to get the Soweto Gospel Choir (who sang backing vocals on “Down to Earth”) to perform in his stead. Gabriel said he was excited about performing the song with co-composer Thomas Newman during the telecast, as it was his first nomination for an Oscar.
