I liked Chris’ monologue for the most part. However, as the show went on, I felt like it was a little disingenuous to insist he was talking about “diversity” in Hollywood. He focused solely on the issue of black actors. The lack of diversity in hiring in the film industry is way more pervasive than that, and AAs are not the only ones who suffer from unfairness in terms of hiring or salary equity in the business. Given the theme of the evening, I thought the joke about the Asian kids was in bad taste. I also found his comment about the film Carol to be mean spirited and rather bizarre.

I usually enjoy Gaga, and last night was no exception.

Cate Blanchette gets my vote for best dressed. I also thought Julianne Moore looked stunning. She usually doesn’t wear black, but it sure suited her last night.
