Picture of the year?! Genius on the Goya red carpet

I for one was thrilled to see the brilliant prison riot drama Cell 211 (Celda 211) triumph at the Goya Awards at the weekend with 8 awards including Best Film.

However the highlight of the event has to be the above red carpet moment from presenters Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. This photo is surely a picture captioners dream. Everything works for comedy - Penelope's stance, her expression, her head tilt; Bardem's stance, his smile, the fact you can't see his hands; the publicists apparent attempt to not notice anything; the crowd's (especially the bald gent) clear focus on Penelope's posterior. It may be my favourite red carpet photo ever. I applaud the photographer that took it. You sir (or madam) deserve your own award!
