I liked the earlier start time, as it allowed by TiVo to buffer things and I could bloop the commercials, and still get to bed at 1030pm.
I liked the approach of 5-former winners introducing the nominees for the acting categories. As for Kimmel, he did alright. I honestly thought the "mean tweet" he read was scripted, but now I'm hearing that it was real. Here's an EW article on that.
