I enjoy watching all the great pics posted yesterday night by everyone, Daniel was really the best dressed man of this ceremony (no need to say I like him in tuxedo

)

Sat's dress was beautiful, I like the nude shoulder and was glad to read that it was a Christian Lacroix dress .. but I miss a nice necklace
She is so thin

that of course the breast isn't the same as SJP !!
For the colour, I think that it gives her a young look..as announcing the spring season and was not so shocking as the red dress of Nicole Kidman last year..
As written in a previous newspaper article, imo it's just doing for a brunette..

thanks again, I appreciate to read the whole thread it makes me feel as I was watching the Oscars..

edit: after watching another pics I can't make my mind about the real colour coral or red..

11 Year Old Olatunji Ebun-Coles Attends the Oscars

While India and the rest of the world raves about the cute kids in the Oscar winning Best Picture Slumdog Millionaire, Nigeria can also revel at our own little star. 11 year old Tunji attended yesterday’s Oscars ceremony yesterday due to his role in the Oscar nominated live action short film, “New Boy.”

This 11-minute flick is based on Roddy Doyle’s 2005 short story about an African immigrant boy who struggles to fit in socially over the course of his first day at an Irish school. Even though the film did not win, Tunji still enjoyed attending the Oscars. In an interview wth cBBC he says, “I got to meet my hero Daniel Craig and Queen Latifah said I had beautiful skin!” Tunji really makes me feel like an agbaya; in addition to his attendance at the Oscars, he also appeared in Casino Royale as Cola Kid.

It make sense that they get their money not until they are 18. I think there are people who'll have an eye on the boys and the money and only give them as much as they need to live and go to school. Make perfectly sense to me

Laredo I'm doubting it's any form of a panic disorder, but most likely do to stage fright. Even professional actors get this: sweaty palms, heart-racing, stumbling of words. I don't know I just think calling it a panic disorder is a bit harsh

From msn.com (showing a pic of DC and SJP onstage): The Wally award (some joke award for awkward Oscar moments) for "Most Disinterested Presenter" went to Daniel Craig, who displayed substantially less enthusiasm than Sarah Jessica Parker's adjacent bosoms.

So his demeanor is considered a disorder or nervousness or disinterested rather than a "reserved, sexy, hot, British personality"????? I still think he is a great actor in any medium. And ducks out because he has a phobia for crowds.

SJP's bosom was sort of presented on a platter for DC's pleasure. I found it a bit distracting.

I'm American and I love America, but we just don't get reserved people. We think something is wrong with them. The only British personalities we tend to get are the hopeless befuddle Hugh grant type, or the smart and fiercely witty Hugh Laurie, but those sweet shy Brit boys get overlooked, so we miss out on the passion that all that shyness conceals.

Also another note. I don't think Dan has a fear of big crowds so much as he is just an introvert as opposed to an extrovert. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying he is unsociable like most people think when they hear the word introvert. What I mean is that he prefers quiet peaceful settings, a slower pace and more intimate gatherings. It is not a fear, but a preference. I feel may not be quite fair to place judgement and diagnose him with disorder when he may just plain not like being in a circus. Another famous, and notably, introverted actor is Robert De Niro. He rarely does interviews, shies away from the circus of Hollywood, and like Dan he is a brilliant actor who can lose himself in role. De Niro, like Dan, is also fiercely protective of his privacy, family and friends. And he got into acting, not for the fame, but for the sheer joy of the craft.
Not everybody can be outgoing a gregarious nor should they be.

Very well said! And that's the reason why I am admiring him.
He's so enthusiastic and excited about acting, you can sense it in every interview which is a bit serious. I first recognized this (and forgive me that, but he was under my radar before CR

) in the interview with Parkinson, when he talked about Paul Newman. Daniel was so in awe for this man, who was capable of being that excited about acting even in his 70th. And he said that he would be very happy if he could achieve that.
That says it all, his aim is not shuffle as much money and fame as possible, but being excited about his work even when he's getting older and was doing that for many many years and not being bored as he stated in one interview with Anne Curry.
So I think, he's attending this kind of circus, cause it is part of the job and he's a very professional actor and no primadonna. Maybe he's enjoying it to a certain extend, but he would prefere staying apart from that menagerie/zoo, if only he could.

Dunda and chocolatecake, I think you are both so right with your thoughts.

There is a marked difference between an actor and a "celebrity". Some actors can be both, some can't. Another one that cannot do the celeb thing very well is Sir Anthony Hopkins, another amazing actor who considers it to be (as he once said) "his job". He is notoriously difficult to interview and is renowned for not liking red carpet events and fluffy interviews.

I don't think Daniel will ever be a "celeb". He's been a real actor for too long and 3 years after CR, if he has not bought into the "celeb" circus now, I doubt he ever will (thank heavens!). I hope he never does buy into that rubbish. I, for one, would mourn the loss of the serious actor who is, as mentioned, excited about his craft.....and who sees it as a craft and not a money-making exercise.

While I'm having a quick rant (

) I do get irritated with the reporters who say he looks miserable! It is that "celeb" thing again! The idea that one should grin like a cheshire cat with botox to the cameras. To me, even though he is not perpetually smiling, neither is he miserable. He has a naturally pouty mouth and heavily-lidded eyes. The combination means that if he is not actually grinning or talking, his naturally composed face just looks calm and serene. A comparison of the thousands of photos of him shows only too plainly the times when he actually is annoyed or miserable, it dang well shows!! But most of the time he is just composed and professional.

I also get irritated that mainstream press so often pick the photos where he looks like that rather than the larger number of photos out there where he is smiling, laughing and talking. One only has to look away from the posed shots to the action shots on red carpets where he is interacting with his fans to see that he is actually not miserable but just posing with a composed face when in front of the cameras for the set shots.

I just get annoyed that he gets labelled as "miserable" or "difficult" when he is just a human being, not a vacant vacuous "smile machine". One of the things that has kept me interested in him for so long is that he is a real human being who just wants to share his talents with those who are interested and who want good movies and theatre. Thanks heavens he is enough of a show-off to share that talent. I'd trade that for a perfect vacuous smile any day of the week.

Sorry....rant over.
