“Sacha Baron Cohen was nominated for Best Actor for his movie ‘Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,’ but poor Rudy Giuliani was snubbed for his brilliant turn, acting like he was just tucking in his shirt.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“For the first time in Globes history, more of its Best Director noms went to women than to men. It’s the greatest show of support the entertainment industry has given to women since Monday, when someone tried to change the sign to ‘Hollyboob.’” —Stephen Colbert

“Now unfortunately, there were also some glaring snubs, including a complete shutout in the Best Drama category for Black-led films like Spike Lee’s ‘Da 5 Bloods’ and George C. Wolfe’s ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.’ Once again, Black filmmakers get the shaft, which is doubly insulting, since there’s already at least five ‘Shafts.’” —Stephen Colbert

Last night's Oscar ceremony did not mention Trump by name once. The closest anyone came was Spike Lee mentioning the 2020 election in his acceptance speech. Spike Lee, “The 2020 presidential election is around the corner! Let's all mobilize. Let's all be in the right side of history. Let’s make the moral choice between love versus hate.” I love that he didn't mention Trump by name, but Trump heard hate and assumed it was about him. When Trump hears the word "hate," it's like his bat signal. Meyers as Trump, “Someone said the word "hate"! Alfred, get me my Twitter belt!” --Seth Meyers
