If you didn't get a chance to catch the Oscars last night, John Stewart was fantastic, but the highlight of the night came when Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglóva won a well-deserved Oscar for Best Original Song for "Falling Slowly," in their wonderfully poetic indie musical "Once." Hansard gave a sweet, if not a tad bit lengthy acceptance speech, and before Irglóva could say a word, the ill-timed orchestra music cut her off. Stewart, in a classy move that was probably an Oscar first, brought her back on after the commercial break, and she rewarded him and the billion people watching with one of the most genuine Oscar moments in history. After the jump.
By the way, if you haven't yet seen "Once," do yourself a favor and add it to the top of your Netflix queue, you won't be disappointed.
