(Any reader of EW.com knows I wasnt a fan of the whole, dang, hyperventilating movie.)
So let records be broken!
Let racial barriers be knocked down Im all for it!

But a fresh prince and princess of a modern era in progressive Hollywood now also reign.
What do you think of this years Oscar winners?
