That's a pretty hilarious criticism of The Muppets, considering Gonzo had maybe a dozen lines in the film, Rizzo was only seen (and not heard, at all) in two shots and Pepe had one scene.

No, you just didn't pay attention. It was not a criticism of The Muppets -- it was a criticism of the Muppet productions of the past couple of decades prior to this one. If you'd actually read the entire paragraph I wrote instead of just the part of it you quoted, you'd know that. What I actually said is that this movie was the first time in a long time that Kermit, Fozzie and Piggy have been front and center again, so I was hoping it would reverse that trend; but I was sadly still disappointed with how Kermit was portrayed despite his renewed central position.
Next time, do yourself a favor and read someone's entire post before you mock it and make yourself look foolish in the process.
Man or a Muppet up for Best Original Song at the Oscars

I wish it were up for more than that, but yeah, good pick for best song.
It actually surprises me that's the song that got nominated. I would have thought "Life's A Happy Song" to be the one they would push. Not that I'm complaining. It would be my personal pick, as well. Though a lot of what made that scene so memorable in the movie was Jim Parsons' completely unexpected cameo.
I really hope Jason Segal and Jim Parsons will perform the song at the Oscars.
Hopefully together with Walter (and maybe Segal's muppet). And since there are only two songs nominated this year, they should be able to show both.
Okay, now, that's the assertive, confident Kermit I wanted to see in the movie.
Well, maybe we should take that as an indication that Kermit will be coming from a place of confidence and assertiveness in the next Muppet movie.
Man, if the Muppet Show ever comes back, I'd love them to take on the format of satire news show, with Kermit and Piggy as news anchors.
^ This would be awesome.

No, I take it as an indication that the way Steve Whitmire ad-libs Kermit is different from the way Kermit ended up being written in the final draft of the film's shooting script. Since Whitmire probably won't be the screenwriter on the next movie, there's no reason to expect this to be predictive of that.
Well, Kermit has years of experience as a roving reporter for Sesame Street News, and he was the first reporter to set flipper on the planet Koozebane. So he's certainly got better journalistic credentials than anyone on Fox "News."

Yeah, seeing the video reminded me of that. Looked a bit like a news studio, so I think it would be a natural fit to his talents
Reporter Kermit was always one of my favourite segments on "Sesame Street" when I was a kid. Along with Ernie, they were my two favourite characters on the show.
Definitely. They made me grin during that show
.
Yeah, and I think he was considered a roving reporter if I'm not mistaken. In that case, being a co-anchor would be a promotion
Oops, I just realized Christopher already did mention the fact that he was roving.
