We’ll get to some of the bigger moments in a bit, but for now, let’s run down the smaller moments …
- Oh, wow, Taylor Swift actually thought she was going to beat out Daft Punk for Album Of The Year? Sweetie, no. Just no. (She looked great though! Her eye makeup was a touch too heavy, but she looked great!)
- Pharrell‘s hat. Mock it all you want, but once he takes it off and everyone realize what a tall head he has, you’re going to feel very bad for making fun of him.
- They misspelled Cory Monteith‘s name during the In Memoriam part. I know it’s a bit of an i-before-e thing that probably threw them off, but seriously: Always have an extra pair of eyes reading something that important.
