It's certainly not clear what Grohl's connection is to the Oscars. He didn't write a song for any soundtracks within the 2016's awards time-frame and Foo Fighters' own Sonic Highways documentary, though great for music fans, isn't nominated.

According to Grohl, Bowie responded, "David, I watched the movie and I got to be honest, it's not my thing… I'm not made for these times. So thanks, but I think I'm gonna sit this one out." Read more - here.
