WTF is her husband doing? 

Yeah I didn't get that. Must be a joke I don't know about lol.

Trying to play her off.  Fantastic!

I think that's his comical "playing her off stage" as they would do at the normal award shows

[Avabelle]

What’s the joke with Catherine o hara and her husband?

one out of three predictions, finally.

[wallflower75]

LOL--I thought it was another technical glitch until I realized it was music!!

[DollEyes]

How dare they play off Catherine O'hara!

[thuganomics85]

Superior Pixar film beats out less superior Pixar film and others to win Best Animated Feature.  Not too surprising.

[AimingforYoko]

In the middle of a pandemic, never made it to the theaters, Pixar still wins.

[FoundTime]

Is anyone directing this show? Truly awful and inexplicable choices are being made.

[thuganomics85]

Haven't seen Trial of the Chicago 7, but just seeing the clips made me go "Yep, that's definitely an Aaron Sorkin flick!"

[mtlchick]

Still need to watch Trial of the Chicago 7.

I liked it. Thought it was good and I'm not really a fan of Aaron Sorkin.

[Avabelle]

I thought it was... very Sorkin.

 Re the HFPA, talk is cheap, in any language.

The HFPA really do need to have a more inclusive future.

Good on Tina and Amy for calling them out on-air.

I don’t believe it was spontaneous in anyway. Everyone knew they were being called out tonight..

[thuganomics85]

Thought it might go to Hugh Grant being evil, but I guess you can never underestimate Double Mark Ruffalo!

The HFPA has a lot to answer for. Inclusivity for one. Really questionable nominees for another. There’s talk that Emily in Paris benefitted from Paramount flying HFPA members to the set and they got the star treatment. How accurate that claim is, who knows? But it’s enough.

Mark’s kids are so cute.

Not only was he playing twins, but one twin was a schizophrenic. That's award bait on steroids.

[vb68]

I unconditionally love Mark Ruffalo.

I am astounded that Cynthia was able to walk so gracefully in those shoes.  Fabulous shoes, but...

[thuganomics85]

Of course the Globes would give writing to Sorkin.  Lets see if director will go the same way.

[ShadowHunter]

I liked The Trial of the Chicago 7 so I'm happy with this. 

[mtlchick]

This show needs more alcohol and stars that were stuck in the bathroom. 

[DollEyes]

Congrats to Mark Ruffalo. His award was richly deserved and his speech was the perfect storm of woke and adorable, with his kids responsible for the latter.

[mtlchick]

I immediately burst out laughing as soon as I heard Kenna start talking gibberish.

I second the more alcohol part.  Especially for me...

It's Chloé Zhao's to lose.

[ShadowHunter]

Here we go parody time.

[anna0852]

Kenan did SNL live in New York last night. How did he get safely to LA for this skit? I hope it was a private plane....

[Fostersmom]

The older Maya gets, the more annoying and just not funny she is. 

[vb68]

Kenan made it out to LA after last night's SNL. He must have took the redeye.

He has been filming his sitcom in L.A. And has posted that he has been going back and forth by private plane.

[Quickbeam]

Oh my god, this is awful.

[ShadowHunter]

Amy's dress looks like what a girl who is obsessed with Witches wears lol.

[DollEyes]

The weirdest pair of siblings since Angelina Jolie and her brother.

[Avabelle]

Prom is just awful. It’s awful.

I didn't see it in NY on purpose, but I somehow feel like I should watch it since it's on the TV and it's free (well, because we already pay Netflix).  But I can't make myself do it.  It just looks dreadful.  And I love musicals. 

[DollEyes]

A Norman Lear musical written by Lin-Manuel Miranda would've been epic. Tentative titles: "Movin'On Up," "Those Were the Days," "And Then There's Norm" and "Ain't We Lucky We Got Him."

[MsNewsradio]

Could have done without the skit (or really any extraneous material under the circumstances), but Kenan speaking gibberish made me think of when he used to play Pierre Escargot on All That 😄

[vb68]

These sitcoms from the 1970s were so good. Honestly much better than we get today.

[thuganomics85]

Have to imagine most creators would be happen to just have one show that was as successful as the numerous ones Norman Lear produced.

[anna0852]

Norman Lear is a national treasure 

[ShadowHunter]

Congratulations Norman Lear. Well deserved.

[DollEyes]

I ❤️ Norman Lear.

Hi, Sarah Paulson's puppy!

[Avabelle]

Best speech of the night so far by Mr. Lear.

[truthaboutluv]

So well-deserved. This was one moment that truly made me miss the audience aspect of this show. Because if there was ever a Hollywood legend who deserved a resounding standing ovation from his peers, it's Norman Lear. 

[ShadowHunter]

This show has had some awkward cuts. I assume they told some of these Celebrities we are cutting back to you lol. Things feel a bit forced. 

[mtlchick]

99?! He looks great!
