I’ve always been aghast at how many musical numbers an event honoring film manages to squeeze in each year

That said, the just-wrapped musical numbers (Les Mis, Dreamgirls, Chicago) really brought the show back to life. I’m not a movie musical kind of guy, but seeing the cast of Les Miserables belt out their song gave me chills – and also helped me forget how presenter John Travolta mangled the film’s title.
