Afterย several rounds of chemotherapy last year, Robin Roberts looked gorgeous as she co-hosted the pre-Oscars show on ABC.

One of the best moments of the red-carpet coverage was when the kids from Slumdog Millionaire were interviewed by Lisa Rinna.

Beyoncรฉ performed an ode to the return of musicals with host Hugh Jackman and the stars of High School Musical and Mamma Mia!

Robert Downey Jr. didn't win for his supporting role.ย Andย Cuba Gooding Jr., in a mocking ofย Downey Jr.'s character in Tropic Thunder, asked if he was "out ofย his mind," forย playing a black man.ย
