One reason Whitney’s performance may have appeared to have such effortless joy - it was pre-recorded. It was still her voice and it was absolutely amazing, and I don’t want to take away from her unbelievable talent. But I would imagine it would be easy to smile in that circumstance.

I have no idea if Lady Gaga…

She did really well. I was afraid that she’d screw it up or that she’d come dressed as a football or something. But she brought enough Gaga to make it interesting but not so much it stole from the song. Good job!

she can do whatever the fuck she wants!

The BEST national anthem ever!!! And I’m not a Lady Gaga fan.

I loved everything about it. I knew she would be awesome.

I like this guy. He has my heart for championing the environment and wildlife. How many of these celebrities do what he is doing? And he has my heart for not giving a fuck. He doesn’t care what you or I or Lady Gaga thinks of him. He doesn’t kiss the Academy’s ass, and that’s why he should have, but hasn’t won.

Wow, yeah, that sounds a lot worse than laughing during a conversation as she walks past.

Let’s just all be clear... Queen Latifah is the rightful winner of everything. At all times. Without exception.

No he wasn’t. However, Queen Latifah made quite the face when Gaga said she ‘wanted to be an actress before she wanted to be a singer’. That’s the clip you should be showing.

You just embiggened my spirit.

Why the hell is this still being nominated in the limited run category? It worked season one and two (also maybe three?) but LaMurph is saying everything is connected and now connections are being made on the screen, which should disqualify it from the limited run category and have to contend in the drama series…

He was laughing at something completely unrelated, was startled when she bumped him, then checked her out from the back. End of story, nothing more to see here...move along.

I will take one for the team and say I am a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio. What he does in his private life bears no influence on this decision. He is well overdue for some awards and he takes it in stride very well if I might add. The Revenant is the real deal and should be treated as such! The oscar is his this year.…

This is a perfectly cromulent use of the word and not strange at all. The author thinks the decision was wrong. It doesn’t imply anything else.

She’s wearing meat underwear.

Taraji P. Henson just bumped into DiCaprio’s chair, but he didn’t seem to mind - probably because she’d just given him a cookie, and because she’s Taraji P. fucking Henson.

He totally points to someone in the opposite direction of Gaga while laughing ... considering the general drunken nature of the GGs it’s probably safe to assume he was (playfully) laughing at someone offscreen. Hopefully Kate Winslet. #jackandrose4eva

I believe that was Ricky Gervais, 2 hours ago.

Kirsten Dunst was so so soooooo good in Fargo. Also, Leo was being a total mean girl (which kind of makes me like him more) to Lady Gaga.
