...record label was prepared to get a significant sales bump from the 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. "This is such a big deal," said Irglova, the only woman in the Kodak Theater who appeared to have gotten ready without the help of a staff of 12. "Not only...
...warmer color photos of Obama, had the effect of increasing the very divide your article addressed. Obama was shown smiling and playing with a soccer ball, while Clinton was shown doing a phone interview, studying papers in preparation for a rally and standing in the dark before giving a speech.

But, as if cowed...
...Where Sarkozy's blunt speech and take-charge manner had earlier won him cheers, polls suggest that those qualities now strike many French voters as intemperate, belligerent and undignified. This weekend's incident was not the first. During a visit last November to a Breton fishing port, one fisherman's taunts and insults got so under the president's skin that he dared his heckler to come face him. During his first major press conference as president in January, Sarkozy took such deep exception to questions from journalists he considered unfriendly that some of his replies struck observers as petulant...
