If it was up to the fans’ support, the song "Real in Rio" undoubtedly would have won the Oscar for Best Original Song. Even the hashtag # OscarDoBrown, started by Ivete Sangalo, spearheaded to Twitter’s Trending Topics but, unfortunately, Brazil didn’t take home an Oscar this time.
* Carlinhos Brown, who was at the ceremony in Los Angeles, made sure to thank everybody for their support: "Life gives us opportunities and the best one is to feel loved by my country. It was an honor to share this moment with Sergio, Siedah and the entire staff of Rio and the Muppets. It was wonderful to be nominated and, moreover, the runner-up. Thanks to all the fans, " he posted on his Facebook page. Thank you, Brown!
