If something defines best picture material, it's Gone With the Wind an we all know what a big moment it'd be to have all (seven) surviving cast members on stage presenting the final Oscar. It could be a moment to remember. And of course, Olivia de Havilland is going to hold the envelope. It could be a wink to having ten nominees as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-10289175096629595572009-11-06T07:47:54.707-05:002009-11-06T07:47:54.707-05:00I love movie couples.

I think that was the year she broke Hepburn's nomination record so the idea of the two most-nominated actors of all-time presenting together seemed to irresistable to pass up. Guess I was wrong.

Sure Jane Fonda is an Oscar winner and a famous actress, but then where do you stop?<br /><br />It would be a cool tradition though if they started letting the honourary award winners present Best Picture, so this year it would be Lauren Bacall.
