| 0:00.0 | Hello and Oscar goes to and I can't deny the fact that you like me right now you like me |
| 0:20.8 | There's a mistake. Moonlight, you guys won best picture. I'm Katie Ritchie the Deputy Editor of Vanity Fair.com and I'm here on the line as always |
| 0:40.6 | with our digital director, Mike Hogan. |
