I know it’s Sarah Silverman’s shtick, but her intro was a little uncomfortably raunchy for so early in the evening. There are families watching, Sarah… Also, tired of the black jokes now. ---

I think we’ve covered the all white nominee situation more than enough. Please, no more. And Chris Rock’s opening was a bit disappointing (perhaps my expectations were too high). mmm ETA: Kevin Hart sure seemed to be enjoying himself. ---

I wish Alicia Vikander had been nominated for _Ex Machina_. That was an astonishing film. ---

SO we go to actor awards throwing the “order in which film stuff is done” concept out the window less than an hour in. ---

I’m so happy for Alicia! I’ve loved her for years and I’m thrilled she’s getting recognition now. And whoo, The Big Short! ---

> [@randwill](#): > > SO we go to actor awards throwing the “order in which film stuff is done” concept out the window less than an hour in. I mean, technically, this stuff happens at the same time. Also wouldn’t the director be close to the front of the show since they’re chosen pretty quickly? ---
