Highlights of the show:

The revamped 81st Academy ceremony was a total success.

They brough a few new innovations to the show like bringing 5 formers winners of the actor, actress and supporting cast categories to present a more personal tribute to their fellow nominees instead of a simple video montage.

The host Hugh Jackman sang a couple times. The intro was grandiose combining all the nominated movies into one comedic sketch instead of the boring sometimes not so funny monologue. His musical number with Beyonce was spectacular.

Ben Stiller and his beard mocking Joaquin Phoenix's claim of retiring from movie making.
