According to USA today, Day-Lewis and Bardem were no shows because:

• Best actor Daniel Day-Lewis just wrapped the movie musical Nine and is back home in Ireland after being gone four months. "He was exhausted and been away already from his family," says his representative, Leslee Dart.

• Supporting actor Javier Bardem was tied up in Barcelona filming Alejandro González Inarritu's Biutiful.

One article I read last night said he was too "cool" to present this year.
"Was Daniel Day-Lewis too cool to keep up the tradition of previous year’s winners speaking? Answer: Yes."

Personally, I think they may have just been going for bigger names with the new format of talking to the nominees. Was he even there last night?
