Robbie Williams magnanimously accepted the Oscars' decision to disqualify his 'Better Man' song 'Forbidden Road' from Best Original Song contention.

Robbie Williams‘ film biopic Better Man (Paramount Pictures) was released in cinemas globally, telling the story of the British pop icon, albeit with Williams replaced by a CGI monkey. The film covers Williams' rise to fame as a teenager in pop band Take That,

When it comes to Robbie Williams’ ditty “Forbidden Road” from his biopic Better Man getting pulled from the Oscar original song shortlist, the British pop crooner is over it. Williams is here at the Golden Globes tonight as “Forbidden Road” is nominated in the Original Song at the ceremony.

Academy says "Forbidden Road" was bumped from the shortlist because it "incorporates material" from Jim Croce's "I Got a Name"

The song appears in the upcoming Robbie Williams biopic, in which the pop star is portrayed by a CGI-animated chimpanzee.

Robbie Williams may not be familiar to many in the United States, but in his native Britain, he became a huge pop star, performing to adoring crowds and making 14 No. 1 singles.
