His role as emcee was equal parts charming, absurd, and nicely barbed (but never mean spirited). By the time he had to come on stage to correct that Best Picture bungle, it was clear that he wasn't just a great host but one of the greatest hosts in recent memory. He was awesome. So it's hard to whittle down his finest moments into a handily digestible list, especially because you could really feeling him guide the entire telecast. Kimmel wasn't someone who just popped up every now and again, which has been a problem with many recent hosts, he really made the experience his own and he did a tremendous job in doing so. Really, this was as impressive a feat as "Moonlight" besting odds-on favorite "La La Land" for Best Picture.
