The 2020 Oscars telecast was a very mixed bag. On the one hand, the domination of Parasite in the Best Picture, Director, International Film, and Original Screenplays categories was a delight, and folks like Bong Joon-ho, Laura Dern, and Joaquin Phoenix gave impassioned, interesting speeches. On the other hand, you also had a completely random performance of “Lose Yourself” by Eminem, a wholly unnecessary rapped recap midway through the show, and celebrities coming onstage to introduce a presenter to then introduce a winner.

So let’s review the telecast by digging into the best and worst moments of the show.

Best: Bong Joon-ho’s Best Director Speech

Parasite filmmaker Bong Joon-ho endeared himself to viewers the world over last night during his many acceptance speeches, clearly delighted and humbled to be winning so many Oscars. But his Best Director speech, in which he thanked Quentin Tarantino for his support over the years and cited a saying by Martin Scorsese—“The most personal is the most creative”—which then spurred a standing ovation for The Master himself, was a truly touching moment.

Best: Parasite Wins Best Picture; Tom Hanks and Charlize Theron Keep the Lights On

Few thought it could actually happen, but Parasite shocked the world by taking Best Picture. The pure joy of the Parasite cast and crew was palpable, but a hat tip goes to the crowd—specifically Tom Hanks and Charlize Theron—for urging the telecast producers to turn the lights back on and let CJ Entertainment mogul Miky Lee speak at the podium.

Worst: No Host

Going hostless turned out to be a rather brilliant decision for last year’s telecast, but this year’s ceremony faltered. Steve Martin and Chris Rock kind of stumbled over a subpar opening monologue, and the extra time was, uh, not spent wisely. Going hostless isn’t inherently a bad thing, but next year’s producers would do well to find more meaningful ways to fill that gap. Case in point…

Worst: The Rapped Recap

The second most baffling moment of the night came when the admittedly talented Utkarsh Ambudkar came on stage to recap what we’d seen so far with an original rap. Did the producers really think we, the viewers, had forgotten who had won so far? The Oscars are long but they’re not that long.

Best: Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus

One could say Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus have chemistry. The comedic duo absolutely nailed their introductory bits for Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing, making for probably the funniest moment of the night.

Best: The Acting Montages

Instead of choosing one cry-acting clip from each nominee in the acting categories, this year’s telecast showed off a montage for each category that offered a wider range of the performances that had been nominated. I liked it! Even if the following “and the nominees are” bit felt a bit redundant.

Worst: So. Many. Presenters.

Who thought it was a good idea to have celebrities take the stage only to introduce another celebrity who would then introduce a category or song? What was the point of this? It’s not as if the initial presenter got the moment to improv or say something genuine. It was all scripted fluff that only served to make the telecast longer without adding anything of substance.

Best: Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig

Second only to the Ferrell/JLD power duo was Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig auditioning for all the filmmakers in the audience. Good bit!

Best: Maestra Eimear Noone Conducts Best Original Score Nominees

Usually when the telecast gets around to the Best Original Score category, they’re trying to cut time and you hear maybe three seconds of each score. So I savored the opportunity to hear a solid snippet of each nominated piece of music, as conducted live by Maestra Eimear Noone.

Best: Cynthia Erivo Performs “Stand Up”

Boy Cynthia Erivo can sing, huh? Although if you’ve seen the supremely underrated Bad Times at the El Royale, you already knew that. I have to imagine, though, that some in the audience may have wanted to change their votes for Best Original Song after hearing this one live.

Best and Worst: Eminem Performs “Lose Yourself”

Anthony Ramos introduced Lin-Manuel Miranda who introduced a montage of movie soundtrack songs, which was then capped off by a live performance of Eminem doing “Lose Yourself.” This is a real thing that happened. We all saw it. And it was kind of great? In a night of mostly predictable wins, this was honestly one of the biggest surprises of the entire ceremony, and while I still have absolutely no idea why it happened (“Lose Yourself” won Best Original Song in 2002), I applaud the gall of whoever came up with this insanely random idea.
