    When Jon Stewart brought Marketa Irglova back out to speak, I thought that was one of the classiest things to have ever happened at the Oscars for as long as I've watched them. Great song, great performance, and a richly deserved win.

I got that inspiration from the pure driven music in "Once", and I have to say seeing these two get honored on such a big, albeit manufactured stage is incredible. Simply the greatest oscar moment I have ever witnessed. Glen was nervous but genuine, and marketa was simply stunning in her grace and appreciation.

At least in the conductor's defense, though, the orchestra stops playing after the first few notes, so they did try to correct themselves and give her a little more time, but she had already walked away by then.

    Nice that he spoke a bit of Irish to begin with, not many Irish Actors do that. For non Irish speakers he said "Go raibh míle maith agaibh". The equivalent in English is "Thanks very much" or "Thanks a million", but directly translated means "May you have a thousand goods things". I actually think he said míle twice which would mean a thousand, thousand. Adding míle to a thank you is like saying thank you very much instead of just thank you.

    Lovely and extraordinary.
    It's amazing because this is one of the few times I have seen actors receiving awards for films that really are a part of them rather than a job or a character.
    It is good that they gave her the time and she carried herself well.

    I'm SO glad he brought her back on to say her piece. that was really gracious and SUPER unusual. the Oscars are usually like : "GO GO GO!!!"

    This is golden. Way back when awards were given to the most authentic form of art, and before "Let it go" won best original song.

    to be fair they didn't purposefully cut her which is obvious from the immediate timing, however good play to Stewart for giving the lady her moment. Absolutely wonderful film which proves heart and inspiration>any kind of money special effects could buy.

    I watch that oscar moment when Glen spoke and she didn't and I said to myself that I hope Jon Stewart brings her back so she can say her speech which would be the right thing to do. He did when she told her "Enjoy Your Moment." And I was in tears saying to myself, "That's Priceless/Class Act You Don't See Often In Our Society." We need more stand up people like him.☺.

    What a wonderful moment - the best I've seen at the Oscars in years - three cheers for independent musicians indeed, and how great was it that they won against the Disney factory! I enjoyed "Enchanted" with my kids, but "Once" was a little gem, and both Glen and Marketa made the film. Anybody notice the Irish lilt in her English? I was so pleased to see her return to speak, and inspired by her eloquence. As for Glen, first time I've seen an Irishman speechless!
