With Chris Rock at the helm, the Oscars moved along pretty well last night! And weren’t surprised by the winner…maybe just that opening monologue! And I love the inclusion of black actors in Oscars’ biggest movies like Whoopi Goldberg in Joy, SNL‘s Leslie Jones into The Revenant, Tracy Morgan was The Danish Girl, and host Chris made it into The Martian. Lady Gaga brought down the house in a touching performance of ‘Till it happens to you. That Stacey Dash Moment was awkward, but Leo’s winning moment was not!
