Kirk Douglas, 94, Cracks Up Audience at Oscars – Hollywood Reporter

Kirk Douglas, 94, made a rare appearance, presenting ideal supporting actress at the 83rd annual Academy Awards Sunday, and he had the audience cracking up.
Before introducing the nominees, he told host James Franco he looked superior out of the cave, a funny reference to Franco’s film 127 Hours.
He then praised Franco’s Oscar co-host Anne Hathaway.
“She’s gorgeous!,” Douglas gushed, causing Hathaway to blow him kisses. “Where were you when I was making pictures?”
He also prefabricated a few jokes at Hugh Jackman for always laughing and poked fun at Colin Firth for never laughing (“he’s British!” he sniped).
He then opened the envelope, but kept delaying announcing the winner, causing the audience to crack up.
He finally announced the winner: Melissa Leo, for The Fighter.
“You’re much more beautiful than you were in The Fighter!” he told her.
“You’re not so bad yourself.. what are you doing later on?” Leo jokingly asked him.
