Second, I reviewed the video teaser of the interview, and I see a very nervous, awkward Oprah. As an Obamanista with a dying TV audience/show/product line, Oprah may be intimidated by a real American patriot like Sarah. She may be looking at this interview with Sarah as some sort of opportunity to save The Oprah! name from the ashbin of history.
In the video, Oprah is forcefully bringing her hands together during one or several of the questions, and that is a sign of discomfort and even insecurity.
I see some closed lip smiles from Sarah, to indicate that she probably does not really trust nor like being on stage with Oprah.
From the mini-video: "Let's get the snubbing thing out of the way" is an acknowledgment from Oprah that she willingly gave Sarah the stiff arm last year. Had Oprah not said something so ridiculous, she wouldn't have so easily acknowledged her guilt in the snub.
In this first photo, Sarah is trying to feel relaxed as Oprah is "reaching out" to her with her discussion.
In this second photo, Sarah is clearly feeling awkward or perhaps even uncomfortable with whatever Oprah has just said or asked of her.
In this third photo, Sarah is adding some energy to the conversation with open hand expressions as she explains something and/or answers a question. It's an open/honest "here is what happened" posture coming from Sarah.
More to follow, so please ping me when more photos and the actual video are up?
PS...
Note the sign in the background:
The show is using her first name as "Oprah" and using Sarah's full name as "Sarah Palin."
Something is going on there.
Informality versus formality?
Why not say, "Oprah and Sarah?"
Perhaps, "Oprah Winfrey and Sarah Palin?"
There is a level of unevenness when one person is known by first name and the other is known by formal name.
