I'll calculate the results this week.

I liked how they had 5 former winners, present the current nominees, for some of the categories. That was a nice production change.

I also think that the focus was finally back on the show itself. In many recent years, there has been either a controversial moment, or people complaining about the nominees, or lack of certain movies getting nominated, or some social movement.

Not to say that those don't have a place, but I'd rather have people talk about that before or after the show. During the show itself, I don't want to take away from the actual nominees and winners.

Especially since speeches already have a tight time limit, I want the winners to make sure they have their proper time to express their gratitude and acknowledgements.

Also, there wasn't some cheesy bit about the accounting firm. Most years, they have some bit where the accounting firm comes on stage with locked suitcases.

Not this year.
