10. On-point outfits; Ruth Negga da MVP
9. Matt Damon/Jimmy Kimmel banter
8. Two of the best written films of the year getting their just desserts
7. Hacksaw Ridge winning not one, but two Oscars (and Kevin O'Connell bringing his longest Oscar losing streak to a close; though 20 nominations is bloody impressive!!)
6. The Coward Robert Ford gets his dues (and such a brilliant set of nominees)
5. The masterful Moonlight winning Best Picture (would be first if not for that unfortunate blunder)
4. Viola Davis, and everything Viola Davis stands for (and look, Denzel smiling!!)
3. Here's to the Fool Who Dreamt (although it was a bit sad to see Huppert's bittersweet smile, she really wanted to win and she would've been completely deserving)
2. Lin-Manuel Miranda rappin' and Auli'i Cravalho singin'
1. Mahershala Ali winning Best Supporting Actor (and it was so cute to see Jeff Bridges congratulating him)
I'll be honest, I thought Davis' speech was a bit too much at times but overall it was indeed quite moving. Loved Mahershala Ali's speech, he's such a gentleman.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for Moonlight!
Shame the producers probably won't be back as they put on a good show, and Kimmel did a good job. A little long of course, but it was paced much better than most of the shows.
ReplyDeleteGreat set of winners. Makeup and Original Screenplay are the only ones I wasn't all that enthusiastic about.
