Hosted by Melissa Villasenor, these usually air the day before the Oscars. I wasn't aware that this was going to be completely (I think?) pre-recorded. It's usually fun, lively show, and I'm really missing that this year. Remember last year's Laura Dern moment? That was a GOAT award show moment. As for this year, Melissa's impressions are spot-on, but the bits ran long. It was funny to see her do Kate McKinnon. I also forgot that they added TV categories, which only go to new series? Bleck!
