Highlights
- Not everything that happened onstage during the Oscar ceremony was shown live. The audience missed a spontaneous kiss between 'No Country for Old Men' co-stars Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin.
- The incident was "unscripted" and producer Bruce Cohen admitted that it would have made a "great TV moment" but while the two-stars were exchanging their friendly greeting the camera cut to show Bardem's star wife Penelope Cruz, thus missing the moment, the Daily Mail reported.
- According to AfterElton, viewers did not see Bardem and Brolin dancing onstage or the two actors kissing before reaching the podium. But since it was not planned, the moment got lost in the camera movement.
- "It (the dance and the kiss) was unscripted, and the plan in the truck was always to cut to Penelope in the audience applauding Josh's and Javier's introduction, so that is what happened, just as they were starting to dance," Cohen said.
- "Josh and Javier's moment (I saw them start to dance, but, to be honest, I have no idea if they kissed that's the first I've heard of that) would have made a great TV moment, but since no one knew it was coming, we cut to the gorgeous Ms Cruz as planned.
- By the time, we cut back from her close-up, Josh and Javier were walking to the podium," Cohen added. Bardem, who played a hired hitman Anton Chigurh in the movie, won the Best Supporting Oscar for his role.
