Oscars 2013: Top Moments

17. Bravest Face

The Avengers join forces to present the Academy Award for Best Cinematography and just like the movie, all the attention goes to Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. In praising cinematographers, Jeremy Renner notes the challenges they must face, like "an aging star whose years, make that decades, of wanton self-abuse, leaves his face looking like a lunar landing surface." Fellow semi-old superhero Samuel L. Jackson tries to defend himself, saying it was "more like a decade," but Downey is more than happy to make himself the butt of the joke. "Two-and-a-half years times ten, or a quarter century," he says. Somewhere, we can hear the makers of Botox cackling loudly.
