My favourite quote from all the Oscar blogs tonight is from Andy Ihnatko:

Good Lord. Sting, Elvis Costello, and now Annie Lennox [for Best Song]. All the Angry Young Performers of my youth are now officially no danger to anyone (though I wisely believe that Costello is always about four steps away from biting somebody).

Further, the nominated songs that aren't from Angry Young Early '80s Rock Stars are performed by Canadians (for A Mighty Wind and The Triplets of Belleville). Or, perhaps, do Eugene Levy's and Catherine O'Hara's early '80s days in SCTV count as angry?
