EW.com: "'Mr. Fox' & Bill Murray's Animal Instincts"
Check out Entertainment Weekly's hilarious video, described by Dave Karger:

Here’s a sneak peek at my OscarWatch chat with the group; check back here on Tuesday for the full interview. And in the meantime, please follow me on Twitter (@davekarger) for instant Oscar updates."
