I watched the ceremony on True which took a feed from StarMovies in Hong Kong. I had never seen the co-presenter Jason Godfrey before. Half Filipino and half Canadian and a former model, he is hot! hot! hot!

I am lagging behind in the movies I need to see. I have waited for some to come to Pattaya but I guess I'll have to get more of them on DVD before the awards show.
