...telecast. Hansard and Irglova's stripped-down, honest performance stood in stark contrast to the glitzier production numbers of the other nominees. When Irglova had the unprecedented experience of getting a second shot at an Oscar acceptance speech after the orchestra played her offstage, she expressed something rare in Hollywood - sincere gratitude.

...rated language aside, there was a lot more banter you won't be hearing at the Academy Awards. Apparently, Hollywood has a big man-crush on the night's honorary chair, Javier Bardem. Wilson, Diving Bell director Julian Schnabel and Dustin Hoffman all copped to it. Hoffman even claimed to have created a love child with Bardem - Philip Seymour Hoffman. Sharing a bed, the good-natured Spanish actor from No Country For Old Men remarked, would be a good way to work on his English...
