Justin Timberlake Starts the Oscars Off with a Great Number & a Standing O! Mahershala Wins!
Justin Timberlake starts off the Oscars just right with a rompin’, stompin’ raise-the-roof with his own Oscar nominated song And it was great! From “Trolls.” He got a standing, dancing ovation! Great start! Then of course, Jimmy Kimmel comes on and gets as he puts it, “Oh great, a sitting ovation”….
He then makes the audience give Meryl Streep a standing O.
And now, Best Supporting Actor! And here comes the lovely Alicia Vikander. She’s got a VERY deep tan. Trying to look as un-Swedish as possible.
Mahershala Ali wins! I was wrong about Dev Patel…Another standing ovation…
A nice moving speech. His wife just had a baby and firstly he thanks his teachers, whom I know/knew the late Zelda Fischhandler and Ron Van Lieu from NYU Grad Acting. They were the first ones he thanked which was very classy of him. I saw him in many plays there and he was always as good as he was in “Moonlight.” Lots of warmth in the room for “Moonlight” as Sasha Stone predicted at http://www.awardsdaily.com. And I didn’t…
His part in “Moonlight” was very small, but truly supporting. But he didn’t mention that he was a Muslim, which I wish he would’ve done.
