I don't think he was translating on the fly. I think the speech had already been written and rehearsed since this was a lifetime achievement award, and then translated in advance.
Well, yeah. That would be the other explanation for how come the first chunk of speech was really long in Italian, but really short in English....
Weird note: That brief clip of Paul Newman in Hud totally reminded me of Sawyer from Lost. The voice did it.
Probably so Kat. It worked for me. Came off smoothly compared with most translated material.
So... Little Miss Sunshine is going to win Best Picture, huh?
Well, I wasn't impressed by The Departed, and actually stopped watching Babel at some point. I still haven't seen The Queen or Letters, though, so maybe I'd like them more. But it seems like LMS is winning a bunch of stuffs.
So, the body sculpture things are cool. Fun for me to watch.
I'm seriously behind on the movie watching so I can't say if the awards are sense making or not.
I hope Melissa Ethridge wins best song.
What the hell is Beyonce wearing?
