Montag Morgen 6:00 Uhr. Die Verleihung ist zu Ende. Hugh Jackman als Moderator war gut, hatte aber viel zu wenig Screentime und zu wenige witzige Ansprachen. Auch sonst waren Highlights sehr rar gesät, alles war irgendwie sehr abgeklärt. Dazu gabs augenscheinlich viel öfter Werbung als die letzten Jahre.
Insgesamt immer noch ganz gute Verleihung, aber wenige Überraschungen und einfach weitaus weniger witzig.
