Lesley PATERSON: I know you are always ravenous after a run. It's nothing compared to how hungry you are after an Oscars performance, when you've been so absorbed in the ridiculous outfit that you haven't considered about food. To be honest, I was too tummy to eat anything else. How ironic that it was the sportswoman in the room whose body barely failed her. As I was waiting for the news that I was going to be a Oscar winner, my knees went. I thought I was going to throw up in the seat - all over my beautiful designer dress! OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD' was all I was thinking.

Lesley Paterson, born in Stirling, Scotland (left and right; inset top at the Baftas; inset bottom in triathlon outfit) was a champion with a 'wild dream' of winning a 'wild' award, a Nobel in honor of a very different kind of trophy - an Oscar. The five-time triathlon world champion, 42, had gone to Los Angeles with two suitcases and, in order to earn money, took a waitress at the Academy Awards. All Quiet On The Western Front - the film in which she struggled for 16 years to get made after falling in love with the book while at high school - has been nominated for an astounding nine Oscars on Monday night. It is Hollywood's toast. It is produced as a German-language film. The woman herself is the subject, as is the man herself. With no financial support and no real links in the industry, she had to finance it herself with her modest sporting earnings. At one point, she completed a triathlon in Costa Rica with a broken shoulder, so desperate was she for the reward money that would keep the program afloat.

BRIAN VINER: I'm not sure that after going to see The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, surrounded by the under-tenants, I felt so disconnected from a target audience as I did watching Magic Mike's Last Dance.

As the lights dimmed at Tuesday evening's preview screening, a kind of nervous euphory settled over the predominantly female crowd, giving way to whoops of excitement as soon as Channing Tatum, the beefcake's beefcake, appeared in the title role.

The Academy has a long way to go. The 2023 Oscar nominations, which were revealed on Jan. 24, revealed that the Academy failed to nominate a single woman for best director, which was one of the show's biggest snubs to date.
