Found this:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — James Bond — check that, his alter ego Daniel Craig — looked as cool as 007 as he prepared to take the stage as a presenter at Sunday's Academy Awards.

Not so his co-presenter, Sarah Jessica Parker.

"I have my purse," Parker said with an embarrassed grin as she realized she was still holding the small silver bag. She quickly placed it by a television monitor.

As a stage manager held a flashlight, Craig had some last-minute powder applied to his face. Parker did her own powdering. then got a good-luck hug from show producer Laurence Mark.

"God, I hope I don't blow it," she said before heading to the stage.

I have to say that I liked this show. It was brilliant. I have to say sorry for Hugh Jackman. I think he will be bad but he is cool. Mr Craig received three awards. Ben Stiller was excellent. I loved the whole show.

Thanks for all the info girls - boy he looks good and laughing and smiling all the way

- seems they always give him the art direction award to present - same as two years ago...and the hair is perfect now IMO

BTW - how was the swagger? Hope it will turn up at You Tube very soon..

His swagger was da'BOMB, except he almost stepped on SJP's dress a few times, thus the line "You alright?"

While I was watching the show I saw that DC and Satsuki were sitting a few rows behind Meryl Streep. I saw glimpses of the two of them but only for a few seconds.

But overall the show was pretty great. I thought Hugh did an amazing job and all the perfomances were spot on. Though I think anything High School Musical related should never even be mentioned alongside the Oscars

Best & Worst of the Oscars: Hugh Jackmania!
Sunday, February 22, 2009 9:00:51 PM PT, E! Online

Oh, man, did you see that moment when that guy did that thing? Don't worry, we did. Read on and get the full story of Oscar's best, worst and otherest.

Best Performance: Even with the slightly forced "recession Oscars" conceit, host Hugh Jackman delivered a completely winning song and dance to open the show that totally made us forget they didn't hire a comedian. Showing off both talent and a sly sense of humor, Jackman nailed it.

Best Lyric From the Opening Song: "I would swim a sea of human excrement." -- Jackman crooning sweet(?)ly to Kate Winslet

Worst Transition: From the goofily good opener—the techno Reader representation was more entertaining than the movie—the show bogged down with that somber bunch of Best Supporting Actresses intoning like they were going to banish the winner to the Forbidden Zone with General Zod.

Best Brangelina Quip: Jackman drew our attention to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie before saying, "I don't actually have a joke for them, I'm just contractually required to mention them five times during the show." (Not bad; it's 25 times for us.)

Best Present: Copresenters Steve Martin and Tina Fey, who've been funny together on TV and film, delivered a hilarious tribute to writers that made us want to see them make another movie together. Or, you know, read something.

Best Reaction: Jolie looking totally charmed by her Kung Fu Panda costar Jack Black, who was onstage presenting with that actress from Friends.

Best Twilight Crossover: Rob Pattinson brought that undead charm of his to the Oscars, where it was familiar to Twihards and everyone who's ever had lunch with a Hollywood agent.

Best On-Air Design: Whoever thought to put Daniel Craig and Sarah Jessica Parker on stage together.

Best Reaction: Seth Rogen and James Franco's half-baked response to the comedies of 2008. Dude, cinematographer Jadocs Kaminsky was so high!

Joke Least Likely to Reach the Billion People Around the World: Ben Stiller's crazy, bearded Joaquin Phoenix impersonation was funny, but a little inside considering how few people recognize Stiller anyway.

Assault With a Medley Weapon: The top-hat-and-tails number with Beyoncé, Zac Efron and the rest totally summed up the year in movies. And that year was 1936.

Most Likely to Spawn a "Who's in Your Five?" Commercial: The Best Supporting actor nomination five-way was like a presidential debate without all the humor.

Most Heartbreaking: Heath Ledger's family accepting his award.

Biggest Showstopper: Wirewalker Philippe Petit, the absolutely entertaining subject of documentary Man on Wire, balancing an Oscar on his chin while a billion people watched and wondered if it would fall. But for a man who once spent 45 minutes walking between the Twin Towers, well, that's probably no big deal.

Best Commercial: Coming in just ahead of the one for the website that helps you earn $5K a month working at home, the Tom Cruise-Jimmy Kimmel bit was funny like a house on fire.

Best Make-Good Decision: The loud and fast medley crammed full of action and comic book movies, because let's be honest: These were the best things that Hollywood had to offer last year, and The Dark Knight (not to mention Iron Man) got robbed. Take that, Reader.

Worst Make-Good Decision: After that whole medley thing, the movie about the wrinkly old baby beat Dark Knight and Iron Man. Obviously, there is no justice…except that meted out by costumed heroes.

MOST MEMORABLE QUOTES
1) Robert DeNiro, on Sean Penn’s performance in Milk: “How did he get all those roles playing straight men?”
2) Presenting Best Makeup, Sarah Jessica Parker said of makeup artists, “We don’t have to tell you what they do.” Daniel Craig’s Bond-smooth reply: “Just look at us.”
3) Sean Penn to the Academy, while accepting his award for Best Actor: “You commie, homo-loving sons of guns.”

Watching The View , Whoopi called in to the show and said to Sherrie she would have loved all tha guys who were there and then said how fantastic Daniel Craig was to meet . He was the only one she mentioned . Hopeful she was networking to get him on the show .

I'm begining to think he has panic disorder to a small extent because of his sweaty palms , his talking fast ...(while he was presenting) , his hold his hands when he is being interviewed , I would do this when I was nervous only with my legs not hands .

He had the 3 most boring awards and no one tried to make them funnier .
Hugh was good with what he had to work with . Anne Hathaway ...I just love her . Beonce, they love her at the Oscars but she just doesn't do it fo me ever ...
I'm glad they honered Jerry Lewis befor he dies .

But they never returned after his award presentation interlude. Which left lots of empty seats in that inner circle for the elite!

I must admit I was on the edge of my seat to see if the camera would cut to Brangelina when Jennifer Aniston presented. Of course, it did. They were laughing and all eyes for her little stint with Jack Black. All is good.
