I watched the Oscars last night and was delighted when Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova won the Oscar for Best Original Song. They were so cute when they went up to accept the award. You gotta love Glen’s opening ‘Tanks’ in the best Dub accent. It looked like Marketa didn’t get to make an acceptance speech but Jon Stewart brought her back on the stage and she made a lovely speech which you can watch on youtube when you click here . Honestly some Hollywood actresses could take lessons from Marketa on how to make a decent acceptance speech. I also loved the bit when Daniel Day Lewis went up to accept his award for best actor in a leading role from Helen Mirren and he knelt before her while she pretended to knight him with the Oscar.
