I haven't found confirmation of it yet, but I know that last year it was shown on BBC America a few nights later, I think it was. I still have that one TiVo'ed, since it was (and still is) such a thrill to see Jake win and the movie to win just as it should have. And it was also just a wonderful show. Stephen Fry really understands how to host these things, and the production team really knows how to present them. They do everything the Oscars telecasts should do and don't, and nothing they shouldn't do and do.
i.e., there are no musical and/or production "numbers," no tributes to anyone not being honored that night except an "In Memoriam" one, and no inane scripted banter between two presenters (the presenters present solo). On the other hand, this gives them time to show clips of ALL the nominated actors' performances and filmmakers' films. As it should be. God, I love the Brits.

I sure wish I got BBC America.

I hope at least Ang will be there. Jake may not be, since he's filming in Morocco, now, isn't he?
And though I'll have to do without Stephen Fry (wah!), I'm sure it'll still be a *far* more entertaining and tastefully-done show than anything the Academy has ever been able to put on.
I can make you a videotape if you'd like, Elle.
