Although the conversation around this year’s Oscars snubs remains both ongoing and fractious, it still pales in comparison to the outcry that broke out last year, when a true travesty was unleashed on the movie-viewing world: The snubbing of Gabriel Gundacker’s “Zendaya Is Meechee” from consideration for Best Original Song. And sure, the L.A. comedian’s ode to the cast—and characters!—of otherwise forgettable yeti movie Smallfoot wasn’t technically commissioned by Warner Bros., or included in the film, or in any other way actually viable for the award. Still, though: Zendaya! Meechee! Danny DeVito! Dorgle! It was the feel-good-about-Smallfoot hit of the year!
