One highlight of the telecast: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler presenting the Lifetime Achievement to Carol Burnett. “Let’s all calm down about Leonardo DiCaprio and how hard it was to shoot The Revenant. OK?,” said Poehler. “So you slept in a horse and you ate bison liver, big whoop. [ed not: Leo laughed.] Carol would have slept in that horse, worn it, done a song and a dance, and made a much funnier face about eating something very disgusting. The point is, Carol is better than all of us. We’re gonna give her a prize for it.” Said Burnett at the conclusion of a moving acceptance speech, “I’m so glad we had this time together.”
