Kudos to Jim Gianopulos

I'm watching the webcast of yesterday's Macworld keynote right now, and the most impressive part to me so far (53:32 in) is Jim Gianopulos, Chairman & CEO of 20th Century Fox. Steve Jobs brought him up on stage to talk about the new iTunes movie rentals, and he really did a great job. He came across as intelligent, reasonable, self-effacing, and dynamic- he represented the idealized version of what "the studio suit" would look like in Apple World.

To be able to pull that off in the midst of a Jobs keynote- and with no cue cards (see AT&T's Stan Sigman, Macworld 2007) deserves commendation.
