This is good.

Jenna replaces Kathie Lee. There were rumors that NBC was holding out for someone splashier, but she’s a safe choice since she co-hosts all the time anyway.

I think she’s just admiring the gown.

Super disturbing.

Up in early numbers. Tracking to be second-lowest ever, but after last year’s fiasco, it’s a positive development for the Academy and ABC.

What is happening with Karen?! Basilashvili is a tough customer, but...

This sounded painful. Again, the staging of this was lovely.

She’s a friend of a friend.

Haha.

Regina was great on Southland and kept getting overlooked year after year. Now she wins for almost everything she does. It’s a nice reversal.

I think two black actors have won a few years: Halle/Denzel, Jamie Foxx/Morgan Freeman, Mahershala/Viola. Edit: I suppose they’re counting Rami as non-white.

Lord, these photos.

The three amigos. So dominant at the Oscars this decade.
