11/15 (+2 alts).

Ugh, Timmy. Easily the worst in that category, and his speech was awful. Glad I held on to that Conclave feeling. Wicked got blanked, and Anora took a blow after several successful weeks. I do like when these groups all go their own ways. It means we now have races in the top 4 categories at the Oscars. And we'll know those winners in exactly one week. (Seriously, I don't like these shows all falling within a week of each other. I liked the one-every-two-weeks schedule we had through most of the '10s.) Happy to see The Fall Guy get that award. Come on, Oscars - add that Stunt Category. 

As for the show, it was pretty good. Kristen Bell hosted before and I thought she was a total non-entity the first time, but perhaps she had a better crew to work with behind the scenes this time. The "Do You Wanna Be An Actor?" was cute. It's proof hosts don't have to go for comedy all of the time. I also enjoyed the Scream Queens montage, and the one showing all the actors on Law and Order. Also don't like that I got ads when I have non-ad tier. Last year's show they did interviews backstage and the year before they did clips for past shows. Bring back the latter. 

And, of course, Jane Fucking Fonda.
