...nice impromptu moment, Stewart brought Czech actress-composer Marketa Irglova back to give the acceptance speech she didn't get to deliver for best song, from the weeny Irish film Once. It wasn't the best song - indeed, none of the five finalists deserved to be nominated in a category that has honored "Lullaby of Broadway," "The Way You Look Tonight," "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe," "Over the Rainbow," "Under the Sea," "Streets of Philadelphia" and "Theme from Shaft" - but the gesture was cool...

Dressed in crisp camouflage uniform and forage cap, Jihad Mughniyah marched briskly onto the stage and delivered a confident and impassioned speech, pledging that "the strugglers of my father and myself are ready to continue in his footsteps." The rhetoric even had hard-nosed Hizballah security men and top rank party officials dabbing their eyes with handkerchiefs as the audience burst into applause and cheers at the end of the speech...
