Kim Kardashian West and Kendall Jenner reflected on their beginnings.

When “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” first aired in 2007, Giuliana Rancic said, there wasn’t a reality TV category. She was wrong — reality has been in the running since the early 2000s — but anyway, tonight Kim Kardashian West and Kendall Jenner are presenting that award. The three women reminisced about its first season. “I was in school, we were all pretty young,” Ms. Jenner recalled. “A lot of the kids weren’t watching it. But I remember having a really positive association with it.”

“It didn’t change my life as much as you thought it would,” she added.

“Everyone was super chill,” Ms. Kardashian West said.

Niecy Nash said she asked to be cast in “When They See Us.”

Niecy Nash is nominated tonight for her leading role in “When They See Us,” the story of the exonerated Central Park Five. She arrived in custom Siriano, which was very sparkly! Adjusting her cleavage, she said: “Trying to keep it all in but if it falls out you’re welcome!”

How did she convince Ava DuVernay to give her the role in “When They See Us”? By sliding into her DMs, of course. “I had to do that because she doesn’t have an answering machine on her phone,” Ms. Nash said.
