But you're right that some of the speeches sounded VERY forced! And it would have been better to understand what(if any) personal connection they may have with the person they're talking about. I thought it was a nice change. :-) I enjoyed the previous winners talking a bit about the nominees, I think that it’s a step in the right direction.

They seemed to work in the venue (where it's peers honoring each other, sure) but at home if you haven't seen <i>each nominated performance</i>, you had no sense of why they were selected. And in the case of Adrian Brody introducing Richard Jenkins, it seemed that neither Brody nor whoever wrote his intro had seen <i>The Visitor</i>. Show, don't tell!
