What was the song playing when Anne Hathaway introduced Josh Brolin & Javier Bardem during the 2011 Oscars?

Q. Anne was just talking about the 1st Academy Awards held in 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel when it starts to play. The song was an instrumental (featuring a clarinet or a saxophone) and sounds like it's from the 30's. Josh & Javier then are seen dancing and the music stops as they begin their presentation for the award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

A. "Ain't Misbehavin'" by Fats Waller

The version heard could have been by clarinetist Pete Fountain, as he has played it before --

If you liked Fats Waller's performance, you might really like his Associated Transcriptions from 1935 & 1939, which are on two fairly inexpensive CDs (if you do a little searching).

It is a very joyous set of recordings that have been reissued (at least five times) and is well worth hunting down.

Do you think Josh Brolin stole the show from Will Smith in MIB 3?
Q. Because I do . . Brolin bought something new and invigorating to the hundrum alien hunting storyline and totally nailed the part of agent K . . . Will smith is still the same type cast role of a young black man wise cracks he does in all of his movies . . . He is still the fresh prince of bel air . . .

A. Yes

I admire Josh Brolin.

I don't know why he's so underrated...

I mean, his incredible performances in "New Country For The Old Man", "American Gangster", "Wall Street 2"... Really amazing...
He really deserves an Oscar Academy Award, for Best Actor...Someday hopefully he will get it...

How long have Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin been dating? They are the men who kissed each other?
Q. "On Sunday's ABC telecast of the 83rd Academy Awards, viewers didn't see a quick kiss and dance between presenters Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin "

i find it odd, this part was not on tv but it is on yahoo news

A. Josh Brolin is gay???

How did Josh Brolin restart his career?
Q. I remember seeing him in grindhouse or no country for old men and was amazed "Bram" could automatically become an A-lister. Yeah he's not bad but how did this happen. Thanks

A. I wasn't aware he had a career to begin with.
