Aside: What was the deal with the sound at the beginning of the show?....and, what was the deal with the stepchildren who had to sit in the back and were not allowed on stage to receive their award?

That's exactly how I felt. Jamie got the award for the role he deserved it for, and that's so important (unlike Denzel's... he should have gotten his BA years ago). It's kind of like the ushering in of the new generation of actors/black actors. I would have liked for Don to win, but Don is going to get his someday. (I hope!)
With the "stepchildren"... lol. I think I heard/read something about the producers wanting to give the show a more "youthful" feel to attract a younger audience, and so made some funky changes to the cinematography and arrangement to add interest.
