Kevin Hart was supposed to host today's Oscars ceremony, but stepped down over some controversial comments he made in the past.
In his place, the Oscars chose to have no host - and fans have given the ceremony's fresh approach the thumbs up.
The lack of a host meant the show felt faster, ripping through early awards and landing a few lols in the process.
Queen with Adam Lambert opened the show to rapturous approval, and Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler presented the first award of the night, Best Supporting Actress.
The trio said: "We are not your hosts. But we're going to stand here a little too long so that the people who get USA Today tomorrow will think that we hosted."
