Didn't watch the entire show, but Kimmel is pretty good at bringing perspective to the event and knocking people down a peg or two. He's real. His line about "I also can't wait for Fast & Furious 7" after the Academy President's pretentious speech about film & art was dead on.

Everyone likes Kimmel and he doesn't make a point to get too political. Would like to see him host more.

To expand on this:
Fallon or Corden would've been overly fawning and "in awe" of the stars around them.
Colbert or Meyers would've been 100% political from start to finish.

We lucked out because Kimmel is on the Oscars' network. Hopefully they'll bring him back every couple of years.

His only misstep was in not taking full charge during the Best Picture fiasco. He went straight to jokes while Horowitz took charge and made the actual winner announcement.
