It’s a strange moment now. Usually the best picture is the high point of the night. But now it is quietly thrown out as the third from last. That’s a strange choice, isn’t it? What’s going on?

Perry tells a story about a woman he helped and needed the shoes. His cloakroom gave her shoes and she wept. He tells a story about his mother and how she taught him to help people and reject hatred. This was a strange night, but this is a big moment for old school Oscars. It’s the kind of thing that deserves an orchestral boost.
