I gotta agree with MMF that she wasn't very good and did nothing for me. The show went on for too long, and I would have been fine had they cut her out entirely. She kinda looked nervous to me, and really only had the one running pizza joke the entire time. Oh and is it just me or was she doing product placement the entire time (Samsung and Coca-Cola in particular). At least the pizza wasn't from Dominos I guess.

Oh and for the people comparing Gravity to Avatar, you clearly need to watch both again. Just because both were standouts in the technical awards does not mean they are in the same realm of what makes a great movie. Gravity was an amazing movie for what it tried to be, it didn't need to have a layered story to work in the way I wanted.

Predictable awards show though, not one single surprise. All the movies were very good, and I wouldn't have been disappointed if any of them had won. I actually liked a few of the movies more than 12 Years a Slave, but it deserved to win for everything it had going for it. Honestly the only thing I didn't like about the movie was Brat Pitt's character, but the rest was great and every other performance was stellar.
