James Marsh's "Man On Wire" and Megan Mylan's "Smile Pinki" have won the Academy Award at the 81st annual Oscars in Hollywood.
the illusionist Philippe Petit balanced the Oscar statue on his chin and did a magic trick after "Man on Wire". Well he is a daredevil. This incredible film about thew insane tightrope walk between the Twin Towers, won the Oscar for best documentary as well.
"Man on Wire" is so very wonderfully captured who Petit is, what motivates him and the gift that compulsive drive gave the rest of us. And it helped our batting average for the night, which ain't too shabby.
