The “80 years of Oscar” montage? Sweetly nostalgic, instantly forgettable. But credit the writers for giving Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell a genuinely clever intro while bestowing the Best Animated Feature award (to, of course, Ratatouille). And credit Katherine Heigl’s own make-up artists for enabling her to channel Marilyn Monroe so vividly while handing out the award for Makeup (to La Vie en Rose).
