"They segued into an entire bit about wearing great ensembles while at the same time presenting an award to great ensembles and the genius of knowing that ensemble had two meanings.

Twenty years later, at the show's 30th anniversary, Samwise and Frodo — or, rather, Astin and fellow LOTR actor Elijah Wood — reunited onstage to present the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.
