Good work, and good to meet you last night at the weirdo gathering. This made me blow water out of my nose – the Ant and Dec bit in particular.

It's hardly a new thing either. Remember Diana Ross making the goals collapse even when she completely missed? And you're right about CGI. I was actually talking about this to a friend today -- there is hardly anything that isn't touched by CGI, Photoshop or whatever these days. Now it seems so natural that we don't even notice it any more.

I'd have probably been a bit pissed off if I'd forked out to fly there and watch the ceremony in the flesh, but I'm rapidly losing the ability to distinguish between reality and CGI (blame failing sanity and eyesight) on the telly anyway - so I can't say that I felt particularly conned.
