Mar. 6th, 2006 05:16 amBest Acceptance speeches - George Clooney, who didn't thank anybody, but instead sung the praises of the best liberal traditions of Hollywood, and Nick Park, for highlighting the contribution of Peter Sallis.
Most Embarassing moment - Lauren Bacall struggling with the autocue, to introduce a meh montage of film noir. It hardly seemed worth putting her through the ordeal for just a few clips from the 40s and 50s.
Least deserved award - I'm sorry, but "The Moon and the Sun" was one of the most painfully tedious animated shorts I've ever sat through at the London Film Festival, and, at 28 minutes, barely qualifies as a short.
Pleasant surprises - "Crash" winning best film, "Six Shooter" winning best live action short, and Jon Stewart's fluent, flippant links. We particularly liked "For those keeping score... Martin Scorsese, no Oscars. 3 6 Mafia, one Oscar. "
