Benedict Cumberbatch to present an Oscar

[mangopony]

Quite excited today to read that we will definitely get our Cumberfill of Benedict at the Oscars as he is listed as one of the presenters.

 

I wonder what category he will be presenting and with whom....

P.S. I also love how his name is first in the headline - ahead of Brad Pitt!!!

[besleybean]

Woohoo!

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Either "12 Years A Slave" or "August: Osage County"?

[besleybean]

I don't think he'll PRESENT for either of those...unless you mean that category!

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

What ever that category is.

[shoot999]

Cool if it was for Short Film (Live Action); and this one won.

Oooh! That WOULD be cool! Didn't realise this was up for an Oscar. Aww, how beautiful a moment would it be for Benedict to award and Oscar to Martin??

 

I wish I didn't have to work on Monday so I could stay up to watch the whole thing :-(

[sherlockandjohn]

So cool, thanks for the information. I think I just might go to bed early and get up early... like, really early on Monday.

[besleybean]

I'll be getting to bed really late Sunday night...or possibly into Monday morning. I'm not collecting my son  from the airport til 10.30 and that's if the plane's on time!

[mangopony]

The Oscars start at about 1.30am over here (UK) but I've discovered it is only being shown on Sky and we cancelled our Sky Movie subscription a few months ago coz it was costing too much so I can't even record it   :'(  

 

I'll just have to wait til the videos flood YouTube to watch any of BC's moments on it.

 

Hope those of you staying up/getting up early for it enjoy :-)

 

Night night xxx

Night mangopony!

[Arcadia]

Alas, the "sightings" were all too brief and few, but there were some and our boy looked (and sounded) fantastic. :-) Anyone with a Twitter account, see if they posted the pic with him and Brad Pitt.

[Arcadia]

Oh no, you DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!

[mangopony]

Haha! What a cheeky boy!

 

What award did he present?

[Arcadia]

Production design.

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Yup, there is some question as to whether or not that is for real.

[Carol the Dabbler]

I assume you're referring to the photo, rather than to the concept of production design?

 

[mangopony]

I hope it's real! It's all over the internet! That and Ellen's selfie (which I loved!)

[Arcadia]

I don't know if production design is real either, I just assumed it sort of ... happened.

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

 

I assume you're referring to the photo

 

   I am. There were reports and pictures and they used the qualifier...."IF"....this really happened.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Easy enough to fake just about anything these days.

 

[mangopony]

Nah, it happened surely! It seems the sort of daft thing he'd do. Then again, all the interviews and stuff on the carpet afterwards and there's been no mention of it....

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Nope and on the afternoon news shows yesterday they talked about the gaffs people made at the Oscars, no mention of BC at all.

Well there, that answers the two questions I had for tonight, the photobomb now substantiated and what category did BC present.
