Jake Jake Jake!

Because in the USA Oscar nominated means more prestige than Bafta winner, a lot of Letterman's crowd wouldn't know what Bafta is---and it is the one thing that he will always be noted for, EVERY actor that is nominated is referred to like that in most introductions until they become an Oscar Winner, then the introduction changes to: (insert name), __ time Oscar nominee and winner for ??? whatever character/movie.
It is part of that which makes them a legend, and furthers their hype.
And it reminds everyone that he has left a stamp on American movieland forever-by his talent, and the work.
I never realized how dry his sense of humor could be, he and Letterman actually seemed very similar in their reactions tonight, and I thought it was great. I think Dave was trying to draw him out into telling alittle bit more about the fire, one article I read at the time said that Jake was pretty heroic during the whole thing, but Jake really downplayed his role tonight--DL must have read one of the same articles I did. LOL
But they really seemed to play off each other very well---and ganged up on Paul S--I thought that was riot.

Here's Jake making an entrance to Letterman's studio in New York

Yes, it definitely went very well. I liked the whole Yellow Fever thing, too. Very cute. And of course Jake looked GORGEOUS. That photo doesn't begin to do him justice. Is he actually getting better looking? I didn't think it was possible. It was almost painful to look at him. But I soldiered through like the trouper that I am...
I loved their interplay, too, especially when Jake goes kind of as an aside to David, "It's kind of awkward, isn't it?" (referring to Paul) and David goes "Some nights are more awkward than others." I've always found Paul profoundly annoying, so I thought it was funny as hell that he was the butt of some jokes, but it was good-natured joking, so it wasn't hard to watch.
Hell, nothing Jake does is hard to watch, is it? As a matter of fact, I can think of a couple of things in particular I'd like to watch him do... :-*

The bitchy post-Oscar clothing critique had this to say about Kirsten's frock (from MSN)
Kirsten Frumps: Somewhere, Norman Bates glowers as he wonders how Kirsten Dunst got hold of the dress he planned to put on mother (and slip on himself on those nights when he's feeling particularly stabby). The adorably snaggle-toothed actress is ready for her close-up -- as a cemetery-wandering corpse that's come creepily back to life -- in a persnickety silvery-blue sequined Chanel that seems more moth-eaten than modish. The fussy, unflattering frock is a failure, from the tip of the bygone Peter Pan-by-way-of-"Little House on the Prairie" collar to the bottom of the plumage-sprouting Sin City showgirl hemline. Also doing Kirsten few favors are her Hawaiian Punch-stained lips, a bangs-heavy 'do and morbid makeup that gives her youthful visage the same bloodless pallor it had in "Interview With the Vampire."
These types of commentaries are always good for a laugh...

Did anyone else catch Jake's reference to staying with a friend at the other lodge at the time of the frightening fire that endangered his family? My impressionable mind races (could this friend have been named Austin by any chance?).
I agree that Jake was quite charming and witty. He really seems like a great human being.
