monologue and frequent bits drew some criticism for slowing the pace. Meanwhile, red carpet
fashion shone with stars like Kate Hudson and Michael B. Jordan and fun reunions brought back
cast from bridesmaids, the Avengers and Moulin Rouge. Performance is lit up the night, including
a high-energy rendition of I Lie to You from Sinners by Miles Katon and guests like Shibuzi,
