Damn! I forgot to mark my calendar and missed the broadcast. According to the Critics' Choice site and my local tv guide, this was televised last night (1/10) on the WB network here in the US. Anyone catch it? Was Diana's performance included?

I did watch the awards show, and by the way has anyone seen the movie 'Sideways'? I'm thinking of going to see it as it does have a very interesting cast. Anyway, to answer the question about Diana performing, there were no musical guests on the broadcast. I think there might have been a misprint in the wire story as when I looked again to see what the listing was showing it seemed to be very very similar to the Nobel concert. Anyone else see that?

Yes gundy516, I did find it kind of odd that the musical line-up was identical to the Nobel concert.
