...authorities promised to pursue Patterson's case further in 1998, a prosecutor mistakenly failed to renew a travel ban on him. Patterson returned to California in 1999, where he remains today. (Lee, after being acquitted, also returned to the U.S.) In 2006, a Seoul court ordered the government to award $34,000 to the victim's family. The case remained officially closed until December, and on Jan. 5 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced it had sent documents requesting the extradition of Patterson from his home in Sunnyvale, Calif.

The two shook hands, and the glamour and brains of a half-century of European cinema stood together. Haneke, usually dour, but now smiling, even thanked his wife and said, "I love you."

...when De Niro and DiCaprio flanked their frequent director Martin Scorsese - bestowing upon him the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement - as Scorsese argued passionately for film preservation, quoting William Faulkner's "The past is never dead. It's not even past." At that moment it didn't matter who threw the party; it mattered only that the best movie people made it a memorable...
