18/23 (+5 alts).

Minus a few hiccups, I thought that was a good show? It started out a little rough, and the five presenter thing was much better the first time, but it was one of the shorter ceremonies and the 2nd hour until the end was filled with memorable moments. 3hrs 20min-ish, and it would have been over earlier but the celebrities got held up because of protests. 

It seemed like they went with the "right" (i.e. internet approved) winners until Best Actress. I'm seeing lots of backlash already (as expected) to Emma, but her speech was great. 19 years ago, men of color won supporting and leading, but it's yet to happen to the women. 

"I'm Just Ken" was an absolute all-timer. Gosling may have been the big winner of the night and he didn't even take home a trophy. John Cena, too. 

I like Kimmel but it may be time for him to retire this gig. John Mulaney is right there!

But I must know - WHERE THE FUCK WAS MICHELLE PFEIFFER?!?!?!?
