Last night the stars of the silver screen graced our TV screens for the hottest movie event on the calender. Those of us Brits that stayed up to join in the celebration are surely about to take a nap, but boy was it worth it. Jon Stewart was funny and relaxed as the host and although the amount of pre-recorded footage used was a little tedious, we can only speculate that the lacking scripts were a result of the writers’ strike. However, such issues did not dent the night which was ablaze with beautiful dresses and Armani tuxes. There were no real surprise wins, and as predicted, the Coen brothers stole the show.
