Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, who remain a Hollywood power couple, will be making their fifth appearance at the Academy Awards. They recently appeared in "The Muppets," which is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song, "Man or Muppet." The song was written by "Flight of the Conchords" star Bret McKenzie and performed by the film's human stars, Jason Segel and Amy Adams.

In November, Miss Piggy told OnTheRedCarpet.com that she believes her longtime love Kermit the Frog deserved an Oscar nomination for his performance in the recent "Muppets" film.
