Here's something awesome that was brought to my attention this morning by 38 Studios' observant-ass Rich Gallup. Those of you that happened to watch the Oscars (AKA the Grammys for movies) last night may have noticed a familiar face during A.R. Rahman's live performance of "O... Saya" from Slumdog Millionaire. No, I'm not talking about the seemingly infinite number of actual celebrities that were on-hand for the awards, I'm talking about none other than everyone's favorite smiley, overenthusiastic, rooster-headed Wii Music demo-ist, Ravi Drums! It was a fleeting appearance, one that you easily could have missed if you weren't paying very close attention, or if you were pouring yourself a tumbler of bourbon in the other room like some people. Luckily, the Internet has got your back! Skip ahead to 3:48 to see Ravi showing as much passion for real drums as he did for imaginary ones.
The paraphrase the guy in the promo video on Ravi's website--which is itself a mindblowing combination of tribal tattoos and Will Smith's I, Robot--that guy is everywhere. Or maybe he just has a secret hidey-hole at the Kodak Theatre.
