Show: Pretty boring, at least after the opening bits.

Awards: Awfully predictable, except for Mark Rylance beating out Stallone and Ex Machina somehow interfering with a Mad Max sweep of techie awards other than cinematography.

Dresses: Thumbs up for Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, Daisy Ridley, Tina Fey, Olivia Munn, Priyanka Chopra, Rachel McAdams. Thumbs down for Olivia Wilde, Jennifer Lawrence, Kerry Washington. Split decision on Brie Larson, the dividing line being her waist. The local paper’s fashion reporter pronounced it “too South Jersey prom.”
