OSCARS: BEHIND THE SCENES
February 25, 2008
"The fight is over. So tonight, welcome to the makeup sex," Jon Stewart, the host of the post-strike Oscars, announced to the crowd Sunday night.
That's one moment that everyone was able to witness, but here are some behind the scenes that the cameras weren't able to capture...
After Marion Cotillard won the best-actress Oscar for La Vie En Rose, Forest Whitaker enveloped her in a hug that lasted at least a minute. Then they looked at each other and laughed.
"I'm shaking, like wow," Cotillard trembled.
When Katherine Heigl told the Oscar audience she was nervous she wasn't kidding. Behind the scenes, a stagehand asked if she was OK.
"I just need a cigarette," she said, bumming one from a security guard and heading out to a loading dock.
Cameron Diaz also had a bad moment when she couldn't quite say the word "cinematography" on stage, and she was slow to recover from the flub afterward.
"I couldn't say my category," Diaz said to Amy Adams.
"You did great," Adams reassured.
Later in the evening, Diaz confessed her mistake again to Jennifer Garner.
"It made you charming," Garner soothed. "It made you cuter, like the world didn't know you were cute."
