A commercial for the iPhone aired during the Oscars last night. Rick Silva noticed that it was a lot like artist Christian Marclay's 1995 piece Telephones (the relevant clip starts at 3:40) and, to a lesser extent, Matthias Mueller's film, Home Stories. Nice detective work!
Update: Here's a list of all the actors in the iPhone commercial (except one).
Update: The missing "French Woman" is Audrey Tautou from Amelie. (thx to several folks who wrote in)
