That was my favorite part. You forgot to mention, it was a *golden* flute. I have to say, I caught what felt like a distinct undertone of tongue-in-cheek to the whole proceeding, especially from King Tony. Looked to me like he thought it was all pretty hilarious. I also liked that at some point before he started his speech, they put supports (covered with gold paper) under the weighing pans so he wouldn't be swaying back and forth. They also put a cushion under him. Quite a show. The press must have enjoyed it thoroughly.
