Yeah Jackie Chan got it late last year.

I like Viola Davis but I expected her to tell us how to cover up a murder when she got on stage, and the self-congratulations was a bit much.

Who is Sophia Butella (sp.?)? She presented an award with Chris Evans.

And who's the hot blonde sitting next to Michelle Williams?

1. Girl with the metal blades as legs in Kingsman. She was also the female lead in the latest Star Trek.

2. I think you're talking about Busy Philipps, though I only glanced at the TV for a second. She isn't super famous, on a lot of TV shows over the years.

Ugh, Zootopia was cute but it was about as subtle as a sledge hammer with its message.

I don't like the disparity in allowed lengths of speeches. The bigger award, Best Supporting Actress, etc. get more time than the smaller awards. Should be same for everyone. Could Davis' been any longer??

The only part that made me actually laugh was him calling Damon a jerk. That fake feud amuses me.

Salma Hayek is still hot at 50, even if her forehead is completely paralyzed.

Why does Casey Affleck look like a crazy homeless person. what is up with his beard, it's all over the place. He looks like a cave man.Might be for A movie he is working on.Or Mel Gibson is his roll model. just stirring the shit.
