And let’s not forget the equally well done opening sequence where Anne and James were edited into INCEPTION, The Fighter, The Social Network (among others) in order to get into the dreams and the mind of Alec Baldwin for his subconscious tips on how to host the Oscars. I laughed out loud more than any other Oscar opener. Loved it!
