I was pretty sure before but now I'm certain the dick was "Sir" Ben Kingsley.Damien wrote:Big Magilla wrote:anonymous wrote:

Gives us something else to watch for during the show - seeing if we can figure out who Damien is referring to. I doubt it would be Efron. He's likely to be a little timid and in awe of the big names watching him.
Actually Efron was a total professional. And knew how to pronounce perfectly some difficult names.

Queen Latifah will present and sing the In Memoriam segment.Big Magilla wrote:paperboy wrote:Big Magilla wrote:Best Director - Roman Polanski reading names by satellite, envelope then opened by soon to be 13 year old Abigail Breslin.
Brilliant.
As for that alleged order of presentation, why would they put the most competitive acting award first?
Tradition. Supporting Actor or Actress almost always comes first. With the Supporting Actor award expected to be the emotional highlight of the evening when Michelle Williams takes the stage to accept Heath Ledger's Oscar, possibly with their daughter in tow, they aren't about to throw that one away that early in the evening.
Interestingly they're saving the In Memoriam segment until just before the final awards.

I envy you those 30 feet. Some of the worst moments of my life were spent in an elevator with Jerry Lewis doing his schtick in my face. 30 feet would have been a welcome distance.Damien wrote:Oh, and it was awesome being in the presence of the great Jerry Lewis, only some 30 feet or so away from him mugging and doing schtick.

It's all good, but there was a press release last week from the Academy stating that Ledger's Oscar, should he win, will go to Matilda so whoever accepts will be doing so for her. Since Michelle is Matilda's mother and guardian she is the person most likely to accept in her behalf.Damien wrote:paperboy wrote:Penelope wrote:Do we have any kind of confirmation that Williams will be there to accept Ledger's Oscar? As far as I know, she hasn't done so yet for any of the precursor awards.
Ledger's father, mother and sister leaving for LA made the news down here last week, with the implication they'd be accepting.
There are three seats down front marked "Heath Ledger's Family."

Back from the dress rehearsal. A few kinks to be worked out, but it looks like a terrific show. Excellent production numbers, a couple nice digs at The Reader. Smart dialogue. Terrific clip montages.
One presenter, however, was a total dick.
