I also nearly cried at the end...Rey was so good. Making her the lead absolutely took me by surprise and it was FANTASTIC to be in a packed audience of mostly little boys and their dads, and hearing them cheer when she kicked ass. And hearing them saying “Oh damn” about Phasma’s stormtrooper suit when she walked out,…

is it bad that I’m just actively rooting against Taylor to win any awards at this point? Her and fucking Ed Sheeran. Also Maroon 5. Always Maroon 5. somebody throw them together in a Hunger Games arena.
