At the 80th Academy awards, the tiny independent feature Once, produced for only $160,000, brought home the gold. The much beloved feature won for its best original song called "Falling Slowly" written by Glen Hansard and performed by him and Markéta Irglová.

When Glen was up on stage, Men's Vogue noticed something...a certain suit worn by Glen in our February issue, was now being worn by Glen in front of 32 million viewers.

The suit was created by Tomas Maier for Bottega Veneta, and we thought the pairing of the two was a great match. Seems like Glen thought so too. --STEPHEN WATSON
