Cool to see him presenting...looked good...one of the very few to wear a pocket handkerchief on the night. Now I can go to bed.

[Vauxhall]

Yes, very smart. He presented the awards for Art Direction, Costume Design and Make Up.

[Mr. Blofeld]

My father's hogging the TV, so I'm missing the telecast; who's won so far?

[danielcraigisjamesbond007]

So far, Benjamin Button is doing well...
Specifically, Wall-E won best animated film and something else.
Penelope Cruz was best supporting actress.
Also, Heath Ledger won his well deserved best supporting actor award.
And Slumdog Millionaire is doing better than Ben Button.

Really, sorry I miss Mr. Craig.

[Blofeld's Cat]

Talked so fast he tripped over a few words. Still, he was dressed eloquently as per usual. Didn't smile much, though.

[ACE]

Dat dude's a kat!

[HildebrandRarity]

DC was the best thing about Oscar night. As soon as he and SJP were off after their three presentation gig, I went straight to bed.

Hugh Jackman (number 1 choice of CBn-ers to replace Pierce Brosnan back in 2004) seems quite the all around talent.

[Marketto007]

Daniel Craig presenting the two awards.

Not surprised. He was probably in a hurry to get out. Craig and his girlfriend had left the Oscar show for the Vanity Fair party, right after his appearance. Didn't bother to stay to the end of the ceremony. Smart man.

Actually this was his most smiling appearance ever when presenting

Yes.

He, rightly, didn't want to be associated with the stench that is the Academy.

As per my initial post, I too decided to turn off the tv after having seen him. The Oscars are a ing joke. Note how The Departed won in a year where Casino Royale was infinitely superior on every account, on all lists.

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

Craig looked better than in 2007. Besides, it was good for him to present with Sarah Jessica parker, because Nicole Kidman made him look like Nick Nack

Seconded, thirdied, forthdied, and fifthied!! Departed was Boooooooooooooriing!!

PS. Maybe Sarah Jessica is as tall as Nic Kidman, and Craig went to Shrublands to Pat Fearing's machine so he can get some inches taller

A Bond film has never been nominated for a best picture Oscar and probably never will. That type of film is generally never nominated.

[SolidWaffle]

Casino Royale was fantastic, but even though we are Bond fans, not Oscar worthy. It is an action movie.

The Departed was fantastic as well. Loved that one.

[mister-white]

Too bad they didn't play a bit of the Bond theme when he stepped on stage, cause it would have been cool to hear considering that the ceremony was scored by Michael Giacchino, who I'm about 99.9% certain will be eventually replace David Arnold.

[dinovelvet]

Well what is particularly Oscar worthy about The Fugitive, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Towering Inferno, Star Wars, or The Sixth Sense, all of which were up for Best Picture? In 2006 Casino Royale was one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the year and was a popular international blockbuster, but they passed it over for the likes of Little Miss Sunshine and the glorified BBC tv movie The Queen!!! Does anyone remember either of those two even a couple of years later? Bah. Same with The Dark Knight. Who is going to remember The Reader in two years? Hell, who remembers it right now, other than Kate Winslet?

He was nervous! Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I've always thought it very obvious that Craig is extremely uncomfortable in these situations. He's also pretty damn nervous and shy in interviews on chat shows, especially on Jonathan Ross etc. He does a half decent job of covering it up, like the actor he is... but you can still tell (hence his awkward "performance" presenting at the Oscars).

No it wasn't. Both great films. "infinitely superior" indeed, lol

[jaguar007]

I agree, a Bond film will probably never get nominated. If any Bond movie deserved to get nominated for best pic, it was Casino Royale. The British are not so stuck up about it as CR did get nominated for Best Picture at the BAFTAs.

[Elvenstar]

I actually loved the ceremony and the results.
Was only disappointed about Mickey
Very happy 4 Slumdog and the near absence of TDK.
Its a rear thing 4 me to agree with these people who vote there. But this time Im quite happy/ And The reader btw is a great film! Thank God not every award is given to crowd pleasers.

Dan is another thing. Loved his couple with Parker! Thay're so unconventionally looking people. So nice to see them together! Especially in contrast with the next presenters this pretty boy Pattinson and this pretty girl from Mamma Mia.
Dan was really quite nervous as usual. Almost stepped on Sarah's dress! It looked so funny and sweet as if Spielberg came to him and ordered "Im your master now! Go and present at the Oscars!"
And Dan was like "No, please, master! I better go and do my job about this Red Rackham pirate. It's a very demanding role U know!"
Steven "No! Go and present, I say!"
Anyway he looked his real self who I love.

[Double-Oh Agent]

Daniel Craig looked good, but was a little stiff in presenting.

Hugh Jackman did a good job as host.

The Academy's selections? A mixed bag as usual. Penelope Cruz? Heath Ledger? Easy choice, well deserved. Kate Winslet? Don't think I would have gone for her this time around, but she probably deserved it in at least one of her other nominations, so I'm fine with it. Danny Boyle and Slumdog Millionaire? The best of a so-so lot. Sean Penn? Gimme a break. That's a complete crock. He was right about thanking the "Commie, homo loving sons of guns." His win was clearly a political backlash statement against those who voted for Prop. 8 (anti-gay marriage in California) more than his acting ability in the film. Mickey Rourke or Frank Langella should have won.

Whatevvvrrr?

So, The Departed is better than Casino Royale?

I don't ing think so!

[Elvenstar]

The Departed was quite boring 4 me but anyway they had to give an award to the director.
CR was able to get some tech noms but...

Or someone that is able to think outside the boxset.

Well, tottaly outside the boxset, I nearly fall asleep with Departed. even if Bond had never existed, I'd think it was booooring.

[Vauxhall]

Well, THE DEPARTED and CASINO ROYALE were both better than SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE anyway. What a great year 2006 must have been, compared to 2008...
