A few quick thoughts: James Cordon is terrific as the host. He's got a great sense of comic timing charm, tremendous affability, a good ability to ad lib if necessary and role with the punches. And there are some really good jokes right from the outset. I loved the opening, written by David Javerbaum. There are two excellent Trump references (and one of Hillary to "balance things out", which it didn't), though one may or may not make the final cut from what I understand. (And of course, everything is going to be reevaluated based on the horrific events in Orlando.) I thought that most of the production numbers came off very well. Cynthia Erivo killed it. Jesse Mueller and Sarah Bareilles joined forces. School of Rock was not surprisingly very entertaining. Many of the presenters actually came, e.g. Nathan Lane, Bibi Neuworth, Audra (who of course was there for Shuffle Along anyway), Sir Andrew, Oprah, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Carol King and several more, and others were not there, e.g. Meg Ryan, Clare Danes and Barbra. (In no way is this a complete list of who was and who wasn't there.) And finally, be prepared for the show to run past 11 EDT (duh.) I'll put the over/under at 11:30.

Some questions-
What was so unentertaing about SOR's performance?
How was Hamilton's?

The importance of puctuation.
"SOR was, not surprisingly, very entertaining" meaning he wasn't at all surprised that it was good. or "SOR was not, surprisingly, very entertaining" meaning that he was surprised that it was not very good.
Art has a double face, of expression and illusion.

Sorry for any perceived ambiguity but I try to punctuate correctly. The proper interpretation is that the SOR number was very entertaining which did not surprise me.

Ah, the importance of punctuation.
Also, I'm amazed at how many names you managed to misspell.
Wish I had a TV so I could watch the awards!

Thanks, but the internet where I am isn't generally good enough for live streams (really middle of nowhere) so I will probably just be watching later this week when I am back in the city!
