The best acceptance speech(es) of the night
Did you watch the Oscars last night? I was basically staying awake to see if Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova won for their song “Falling Slowly” from “Once.” They were going up against three -- three! -- songs from the Disney film “Enchanted” and a gospel-esque number from “August Rush” that was classic “uplifting” film fare. It was terrific to see Glen & Marketa going up on stage to accept their award just because they seemed so stunned and happy and grateful. The orchestra conductor got a little ahead of himself and Marketa missed her chance to say a few words. Jon Stewart brought her back on after the commercial, though, and she got her moment in the spotlight.
