 Well, it’s been a strange one. For a while it seemed like the night was devoid of genuine surprises (which itself is not a surprise given the Academy’s history of predictable tastes) but right at the end, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway surprised us all by getting the best picture winner wrong. 
 
 Jimmy Kimmel was a safe and uninspired choice as host, not bad and not Fallon but not good enough. The political speeches were subdued but effective. The skits were unfunny. But the winners were largely deserving and Moonlight in particular is one of the best choices for the big prize in years. 
 
 There’ll undoubtedly be a whitelash from those claiming the win is a direct reaction to #OscarsSoWhite but for anyone who has seen Moonlight and experienced its unique effect they’ll understand it’s a worthy winner. 
 
 See you next year! Apart from Beatty, who probably won’t be invited back ...

– Jimmy Kimmel pulled a prank on a bunch of unsuspecting tourists at the Oscars Sunday night to mixed reviews. The award show host arranged for a tour bus to be brought to the Dolby Theatre, at which point the people on board were brought inside the auditorium as the audience yelled "Mahershala!" (in homage to Oscar winner Mahershala Ali). The stunned surprise guests were then introduced to the front-row celebrities, including Ryan Gosling (who apparently gave Gary from Chicago his Oscars swag), Denzel Washington (who "married" Gary and his fiancee), and Meryl Streep, whom Kimmel described to the tourists as "overrated." But Kimmel also took the opportunity to make fun of a few of the tourists' names, which didn't go over well on Twitter, the Guardian notes. One woman with a name she explained sounded like "jewelry" received a bit of a jab from the host, while her new husband, Patrick, got a thumbs-up from Kimmel for his more-familiar-sounding name. Advocate reporter Nico Lang tweeted, "I'm not into this trend of making fun of the names of people of color. It's not cute, Jimmy Kimmel," while the Guardian's Benjamin Lee noted of the entire gimmick: "It all [felt] a bit patronizing to be quite honest, allowing 'real people” to gawp at celebrities."
