Yay! “Let It Go” won! I was a little iffy on Frozen’s score, but that song knocked it out of the park. ---

“Let It Go” was a worthy selection, though. ---

Speaking about the humanitarian award to the ones like Angelina Jolie, is that the same as a honorary Oscar? For the humanitarian award they used the classic Oscar statue for it. ---

Ellen made me laugh for the first time tonight collecting money for the pizza. ---

As long as we’re praising folks for aging well I’d like to add Sally Field. Congratulations to everyone who worked on Gravity, but I’m afraid to see it. I just imagine that I’d hold my breath the whole time she’s in distress - which as far as I can gather is most of the movie. I hadn’t heard before that Harrison Ford is a stoner, but twitter is full of jokes about the pizza being ordered to satisfy Ford’s munchies I liked the not clapping during the memorial montage. I hope that carries through to future shows. ---

I like the pizza collection too. And Ellen’s photo that was tweeted. And the memorial montage was nicely done. I must say, I never get to the movies; but some of these, I will have to go and see (or at least get the DVD when it comes out). _Nebraska_ looks interesting, as does _Her_ and _Gravity_. ---
