The 97th Academy Awards were an absolute blast, with Conan O'Brien delivering the best hosting job I have seen in years. He was so funny, showed true love for cinema, and his bits crushed. Sean Baker gave the speech for the night for Best Director -- go to the movies to support cinema! The night was full of surprises and some great speeches, AND it felt like they did a great job keeping the whole thing moving.
