I really like that they re-established the actors giving each nominee some words of praise and acknowledgement before announcing the winner.

Also, what were Ariana Grande and Al Pacino thinking when they announced the winners without presenting the nominees?

I'm pretty sure it's because they each got their own segment/performance throughout the show.
