[Kimmel] did a fine job setting the tone for the evening, which ran efficiently, and one might say exuberantly — there was much cheering, many hugs, more than a few tears and a chorus of “Happy Birthday” for “An Irish Goodbye” star James Martin — and with a minimum of the industrial self-congratulation that at its worst can make the Oscars broadcast an argument for the demise of the movies. ... It wasn’t a bad party, all told.

A light, slight and disposable broadcast which saw host Jimmy Kimmel doing his best to avoid controversy – with one unfortunate exception.
