Calling Markéta Irglová back to make her speech
Usually, once conductor Bill Conti has the orchestra play you off the stage, your speech is through; there are no do-overs. But Markéta Irglová, who co-starred with Glen Hansard in Once and co-wrote and performed the winning song ''Falling Slowly'' with him, did get a second chance, as Conti had played her off before she even got to open her mouth. After the commercial break, however, Jon Stewart brought her back out onstage and let her give a lovely speech, which she dedicated to ''all other independent musicians and artists that spend most of their time struggling.'' The victory for her underdog film in this category, she said, served ''to prove no matter how far out your dreams are, it's possible.''
