When he accepted his Oscar, which was presented by Jennifer Hudson, his speech was a humorous one that Moviefone.com says "stole the show". He made fun of advice he was given that "it's not really good television to take a list out of your pocket and thank a lot of people", saying that "I just have to thank these people. I don't want to. I want to be good television so badly."[2][3]
It was nominated for the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Song at the 16th Annual BFCA Critics Choice Awards in 2011 and Best Original Song at the 2010 Denver Film Critics Society, losing both to "If I Rise" by A.

However, his best song nomination was for "Down in New Orleans" from The Princess and the Frog.[8]
It is the first song on the film score of Toy Story 3. The entire album was composed and conducted by Randy Newman.[7] Upon the film's release, Disney did not release the soundtrack album for Toy Story 3 on compact disc.
