Another year, another set of golden statue award-winners.
Best parts?
– Melissa Leo, dressed by SA-born Marc Bouwer, curtsying in front of 94-year-old Kirk Douglas, who presented her with the Best Supporting Actress award. Also, when she swore! “When Kate Winslet did this 2 years ago, it looked so f***ing easy!”
– Aaron Sorkin telling his kid that now he’s an Oscar winner he’s “going to have to demand respect from your guinea pig.”
– Trent Reznor, upon winning Best Original Score with Atticus Ross for The Social Network , asking, “Is this really happening?”
– The real Micky Ward, half-brother of Dickie Ecklund in the audience
