"A lot of people seem to think our dad Michael Jackson changed popular music forever. And who are we to disagree?" Prince said onstage in the introduction.

"But what people may not know is that he loved musicals, on film and on the stage," he continued. "That’s why we are so incredibly honored to introduce tonight’s first nominee for best musical, 'MJ,' which, using many of his iconic hits, looks at the complexities and brilliance of our father's process."
