Huh. I’m surprised that a guy who’s worked in Hollywood for so long has not learned English. Or does he speak English and just doesn’t feel comfortable speaking it…?
Does Clint Eastwood speak Italian?
They changed the GM commercial?!
Wouldn’t surprise me. He did spend a good bit of time around Italians back in the day and also is a bit of a intellectual IRL.
Yeah. A suicide-prevention organization thought that people would want to jump off a bridge and kill themselves after they saw the robot do it.
That was awkward, having Ennio Morricone standing there speaking Italian with Clint Eastwood translating later. A simultaneous professional translator would have been better.
He must have picked it up making all the films in Italy. The so called Spaghetti Westerns.
Well, he did spend all those years making spaghetti westerns, but methinks he was reading a translation.
Ennio might be able to get by in English but wanted to make the biggest speech of his life as himself. Maybe, I don’t know for sure.
And yes, I know that, on paper, Celine was singing in English.
I’d be surprised if he didn’t pick some up with all the Spaghetti Westerns he made there, but I dunno.
Oh, Penelope.
We wouldn’t want anyone getting offended. Again. I mean, this ain’t the Superbowl for Chris’sake.
And for the record, the Jack Black/Will Ferrel thing was hysterical.
Hugh Jackman and Penelope Cruz for Original Score
Winner: Babel
President of AMPAS talking about AMPAS in less than one minute. Funny
OOH! AMPAS Museum! I wanna go! Except…it hasn’t been built yet.
How much time do the winners have for their acceptance speeches?
I feel bad for Thomas Newman. I loved the score for The Good German.
Spidey reunion: Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire (speaking of The Good German) for Original Screenplay.
Winner: Little Miss Sunshine
Am I being ridiculously PC or oversensitive for being slightly put off by that Babel guy finishing his speech with “Por todos Latinos!”? I can understand saying something in support of the fellow nominees from your country, but championing your racial/ethnic/cultural/whatever-is-used-to-describe-Latinos group is just a bit…
Didn’t he also dedicate it to all Argentinans? So he was saluting his country as well as his race.
Dancers again: Devil Wears Prada shoe
Awww, Arndt for LMS! He was adorable.
I’ve heard they have 45 seconds, but it sounds longer.
They haven’t done the Bring Out Yer Dead montage yet, have they? That’s usually in the second hour.
