The opening act was okay but a little awkward. Janelle sure can sing and it was amusing seeing dancers in Nazi uniforms and the flower dresses from Midsomnar. Some of the jokes Steve Martin and Chris Rock didn't quite stick the landing, but I did laugh.

I like how they're describing the excerpts of each adapted screenplays in the nomination, especially the part with Joker for me.

The only short I ever watched form that list is Nafta Football Club. So I'm neutral about that category.

1) Wow! A foreign film won Best Picture! Awesome! 2) I know sometimes the Oscars spoil movies with the clips... but showing the final shot of JUDY?! Come on! OK, I guess it's fine since that moment doesn't actually reveal anything. 3) Wait, I thought the Academy forbade people from applauding during the in memoriam segment a couple of years ago. 4) I know it's common to cut off speeches, but I can't remember ever seeing the camera showing the actors of the movie reacting to the crew members of the same movie getting cut off (it happened tonight with BOMBSHELL). 5) Why do a recap rap halfway through the show? Neil Patrick Harris does that at the end of the Tonys. 6) LOSE YOURSELF is my favorite rap song of all time and 8 MILE is one of my favorite movies of 2002... but why did Eminem perform it? Was it because he wasn't present when he won back then? It felt out of nowhere (I don't remember even reading his name in the "Presenters and performers" list before the show) and it didn't connect to anything, not even the montage that preceeded it. I mean, they showed how songs were used in movie scenes, but that song was played during the end credits. 7) I love that every year they choose actors from non-nominated movies to present... but what's up with the PEANUT BUTTER FALCON guys? I get that Zack Gottsagen has a mental disability and can't read/speak well, but you can still plan things around it. It seems that he and Shia LaBeouf didn't rehearse. It was awkward. 8) Doing what's essentially live-action version of the "Disney song in many languages" videos is a great idea! I just hope the people in Spain don't get mad at the whole "Spanish/Castillian" thing. 9) A montage with different clips of the nominated actors is a new idea and a good one... but what's the point if the presenter will still read the names one at a time? 10) If there are going to be presenters that do nothing more than introduce other presenters, why not just have a host? Yes, I'm aware that George MacKay made a joke about that, but it's lampshading.
