A quick update to my post-Oscar post to note the best documentary win for Man on Wire. If you were watching, the guy who ran up to the stage after the producers was the man who pulled off the high wire act - Philippe Petit. He gave a short, joyful speech, did a little magic trick with a coin that one of his old friends had given him and ended with an impromptu stunt - balancing the Oscar statue on his chin. Doing street magic and juggling acts is of course how he paid for his various 'unauthorized' tight rope walks.
