Stephanie Beecham says Hugh Jackman's opening was laboured. The team view is that he is still no Billy Crystal. Steph would like to look at him but hated the skit. Respect to her for going that way.
Hugh is introducing the Art Direction award. Cute stage set up - big lit bulbs and pretty pretty presenters: Sarah Jessica Parker and Daniel Craig (and some jazzy reworkings of Charade). Baroque digital backdrops are how we're seeing: Benjamin Button vs The Duchess vs The Dark Night vs Changling vs Revolutionary Road.
WINNER? Benjamin Button!
Seems like a good call. The designers Seem pleased and on the verge of serious tears. And special thanks to David Fincher. The designers are in tears as they go. Feels like a proper win...
Daniel Craig is fluffing his lines, SJP is perfect pro and great at delivering meaningless style stuff. Lovely. So... Costume Design. It's Revolutionary Road vs The Duchess vs Milk vs Benjamin Button vs Australia. SJP btw is in another lovely evening gown. This one ivory and lovely (and much more busty) than the mint number she red carpetted in.
WINNER? The Duchess!
The Custume Designer is floored and maybe drunk or just totally baffled. Seems very unlikely as a costume designer in a good way. A gentlemen in his forties who was apparently the risk for the picture. He did a good befuddled speech. Apparently Keira Knightly is "one classy lady"!
Wow... it's a triple bill award host combie. Now Make Up is up. Benjamin Button vs Dark Knight vs Hellboy II.
WINNER? Benjamin Button!
Of course it was, how could it not be huh? The gent who has gone up is stroking his Oscar as he gives his slightly arch campy (well prepared) speech. He's running through the names impressively. Everyone on the freaking craft table almost got a micro mention. No emotion there though.
Wow! Our hosts for the next award are from that vampire tastic Twilight male lead and young female lead from Mamma Mia to cue up our romance compilation. Romance this year looked like... a blond dye jon. Is a particularly soft lit mixtape affair. I think that's a bit of Coldpplay being used there. I think I missed half these films btw. But I can at least recognise Highschool Musical 3. I is clasy. Romance this year looks mostly quite heterosexual. Even the Milk clip is bland as heck but they rescued themselves with a nice kiss in their snoggy compilation! Thank goodness!
