Hollywood's award season continued its parade to the Oscars with the Critics' Choice Award on Sunday, which Taye Diggs kicked off with a song and dance.
Diggs put his Broadway background to good use as he celebrated a year of cinema that was packed with diversity.
'It was particularly a great year for African Americans, black filmmakers earned a record $1.5billion at the domestic box office,' Diggs told the crowd full of celebrities.
Then, to the tune of Cardi B's hit song 'I Like It', Diggs launched into a celebration of the 'representation of my brothers and sisters'.

His musical tribute featured references to a slew of this year's biggest films, including Black Panther and BlacKkKlansman.
Diggs was accompanied by what he called his 'Black up' singers and dancers, who often chimed in which hilarious lines.
When Diggs referenced the Ku Klux Klan, the girls sang 'they're not cool, they're racist'. When he mentioned Dick Cheney, portrayed in the nominated film Vice, the girls added 'Dick Cheney's not black'.
'Barry Jenkins made us wonder what Beale Street would say,' Diggs continued. 'Where my Crazy Rich Asians at?'

'Let's give it up for the queen,' he said, before revealing he was referring to Regina King.
Following Diggs' opening tune, it was only natural that the first award of the night would be rewarded to Best Song.
And Lady Gaga continued her sweep of the category this award season for the hit Shallow, which won the Golden Globe just last week.
'Oh my goodness, thank you so much,' Lady Gaga told the crowd as she took the stage in a simple light pink gown.

'I'll never forget when we wrote this song together, I'll never forget playing it for Bradley the first time and seeing his face light up and singing it live together, take after take,' she continued as the crowd laughed.
'I was mesmerized as myself and as my character Ally. I was basking in the brilliant transformation of Bradley into Jackson Maine, overwhelmed by the storytelling and power in his voice.'
'This song is a conversation between men and women,' she continued, echoing her words from the red carpet earlier that night.
'Asking each other questions about life, and a desire for more depth in the shallowness of our modern era. I'm so happy it resonated with you.'
The first two acting awards of the nights were proof that Diggs' song was speaking the truth, as Regina King and Mahershala Ali both nabbed supporting actor wins.
Ali brought Green Book composer Kris Bowers to the podium to pay him special thanks, revealing Bowers taught him how to play the piano for the role.
Both Ali and King won their categories at last week's Golden Globes as well - a good sign as the race to the Oscars continues.
The Favourite nabbed Best Acting Ensemble, but stars Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz all skipped out on the ceremony - with presenter Cole Sprouse joking they were overseas for a 'high stakes duck race'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
