''It [the dance and the kiss] was unscripted, and the plan in the truck was always to cut to Penelope in the audience applauding Josh's and Javier’s introduction, so that is what happened, just as they were starting to dance.''

Part of a statement from gay Hollywood producer Bruce Cohen in responding to AfterElton.com's inquiry. Many have wondered why a brief dance and kiss between Josh Brolin and his friend Javier Bardem was edited out of the telecast. Viewers at home only saw a long shot of Penelope Cruz clapping in the audience. (AfterElton)
