On the witness stand, testifying for the prosecution against his former colleagues Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, he spoke slowly and clearly, using easy-to-understand metaphors.

Co-winners, like Crash, scriptwriter Bobby Moresco who won for original screenplay, never got to utter a word. In fact, we had lots more to say?about Jon Stewart?s under-stated hosting, Meryl Streep & Lily Tomlin?s witty presenting, Isaac Mizrahi?s good behavior, the penguins who made the trip?(music swells...
