The glitch was fixed right after hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin took the stage. The press room erupted with applause when the audio began pumping into the room.
• T Bone Burnett was feeling under the weather and did not come back into the press room after winning the Oscar for Best Original Song for “Weary Kind” from Crazy Heart. However, the song’s co-writer, Ryan Bingham, fielded questions from the press.
