I can't see him in the front row, or anywhere else. He's not the guy with the stick slightly right of centre, if that's the one you're thinking of (or if it is, he's changed pretty dramatically since the last photo I saw of him - which was only taken a few weeks ago)miless wrote:it's hard to tell, but is that Wajda in the front row?
Vincent Paronnaud, co-director of Persepolis, which is why Marjane's hand is on his shoulder.domino harvey wrote:Who's Indie Rock Paul Muni standing between Jason Reitman and Javier Bardem?
I believe that the dude with the cane is 98-year-old Robert Boyle who was Hitchcock's production designer, and is this year's honorary award recipient.MichaelB wrote:I can't see him in the front row, or anywhere else.

I said "almost all" at first, but now I notice several big names, including Depp and Day-Lewis, didn't show.MichaelB wrote:I suspect "almost all" nominees excludes people who'd have to be flown in!

I had the exact same reaction while watching Charlie Wilson's War. Actually, Blunt's legs might have been the highlight of the movie.Matt wrote:Related: HELLO Emily Blunt!

`Ratatouille' wins 10 Annie Awards
Sat Feb 9, 2:41 AM ET
A gourmet rat was the big cheese Friday, winning 10 Annie Awards, which recognize achievements in feature film and television animation.
Disney and Pixar's rodent tale "Ratatouille" won the award for best feature production, beating out DreamWorks' insect story "Bee Movie," Sony Pictures' penguin-powered "Surf's Up," Sony Pictures Classics' coming-of-age chronicle "Persepolis" and 20th Century Fox's "The Simpsons Movie."
"Ratatouille" went into the ceremony at UCLA's Royce Hall with a leading 13 nominations.
Among it awards were best writing and directing for Brad Bird, best voice acting for Ian Holm, best character animation, music, storyboarding, production design and best animated video game.
Bird and two writing partners are also up for an Oscar for best original screenplay.
"Ratatouille" is the tale of a rat voiced by Patton Oswalt that tries to rise above the trash-nibbling ways of his family and friends.
The Annie Awards are presented by The International Animated Film Society. The best-picture winner has gone on to win the Academy Award for animated feature every year but one since the Oscars added the category in 2001. Last year's Annie winner, the Disney-Pixar auto-racing comedy "Cars," lost at the Oscars to the penguin musical "Happy Feet."
Other Annie Awards presented Friday included:
• Animated Effects: Deborah Carlson, "Surf's Up."
• Animated television production: "Creature Comforts America," Aardman Animation.
• Animated television production for children: "El Tigre," Nickelodeon.
• Directing in an animated TV production: Seth Green, "Robot Chicken Star Wars," ShadowMachine.
All in all, a fairly unremarkable ceremony - highlights probably being Marion Cotillard's mental collapse, Tilda's bizarre dress, and Daniel Day Lewis babbling on about playing with oneself. Interesting to note that La Vie en Rose garnered more awards than Atonement (but of course in the end they just couldn't resist), and lauding Deakins for No Country for Old Men rather than Jesse James strikes me as pretty ludicrous.Best film: Atonement

Yes. Nothing exciting, she was just overwhelmed.

It would be fun seeing how she'd react if she won the Oscar.Jeff wrote: Nothing exciting, she was just overwhelmed.
