US President Obama makes surprise Oscar appearance

0 comments

US President Obama appeared in a taped clip during Sunday's Academy Awards show on ABC, letting the world know that his favorite movie song was "As Time Goes By." The song by Dooley Wilson was featured in the classic "Casablanca." CNN's Bonney Kapp reports that the song also ranked No. 2 on the American Film Institute's list of top film tunes.


Barrak Obama, speaking at the 2011 Governors' Dinner in the state dining room of the White House on Sunday, was clearly in an Oscar state of mind. "I want to welcome some of you back, and I want to welcome those who are here for the first time. I know some of you may be confused and think this is the Oscars," he said, drawing laughs, according to the press pool report. "There are some similarities. First of all, everybody looks spectacular. And the second thing is, if I speak too long the music will start playing. So I'm going to be very brief."
