Welcome to the 87th Annual Academy Awards -- as host Neil Patrick Harris put it, within seconds of the show's launch: "Tonight we honor Hollywood's best and whitest, I'm sorry, brightest." Too true!
NPH continued, quickly moving into his big musical opening number, "Check out this place. Check out everything..." The classic Oscars opener honored moving pictures, including a duet with "Into the Woods" star Anna Kendrick and an interruption from Jack Black, who rose from the audience to yell-sing at them.
It was a very old-school opening, in the best of ways, focusing on what the Oscars are supposed to be about -- celebrating movies and why we love them -- while also giving fans the class, humor and Ben & Matt shout-outs they'd expect from NPH.
