...Sunday night, the haves had not. Clooney did not win an Academy Award, and neither did the film he was nominated for, the early front runner (and utterly Oscar-worthy) Up in the Air, which even failed to cop its expected prize for Best Adapted Screenplay. Avatar won only three of the nine categories for which it was eligible - the door prizes of Cinematography, Art Direction and Special Effects - and its begetter, James Cameron, supped on the special gall of losing Best Picture and Best Director to The Hurt Locker and his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow, respectively.

But as time goes on, we'll get better...
...limelight. In fact, the national opprobrium he experienced after stumbling during the rings event at the 1988 Games in Seoul made him quit sport for manufacturing. His initial venture making jackets was a flop. "We had only one kind of material, in seven colors," he says. "It took us three years to sell them all." The experience made him see that it might be smarter to outsource design and production and concentrate on retail. He envisaged a chain of Li Ning shops, capitalizing on the goodwill that his name retained as memory of the Seoul snafu faded. "I realized...
