Re: Ellen hosting the Oscars

I just posted on another thread how great Ellen was....she is so relaxed doing her thing...she makes everyone comfortable....just like her daily show...

Loved when she went out into the audience and talked with them....taking pictures...eating pizza...collecting money....all the changes of clothes...she was wonderful hosting...she should do it every year....

Re: Ellen hosting the Oscars

I usually turn the Oscars off part way through. But not when Ellens there! Shes the BEST! Cant believe she ordered pizza and they all took a group selfie AND crashed twitter!. LOL.

Wrong; she DID make a joke of Liza Minelli. I agree Liza looked hideous with her free-flying boobs and was a total disaster but I thought Ellen's jokes were mean.

Bette Midler's voice is gone. She started to say something but was cut off.

Oh I think she sounded real good. I think she was starting to say something about everyone giving her an "encore".

I agree with you Kitty.

John Travolta just butchered Idina Menzel's name.

John Travolta looked like a freak, with his cheeks so big they almost squeeze his eyes shut, and wearing the worst hairpiece I've ever seen. If he's going to use a hairpiece, use a GOOD one, not one that looks so shiny it's almost blinding.

Can't you go one day without critiquing someone's appearance? And it's never a good critique!

Maybe I just ""don't get it"" but I thought the pizza business was really stupid.

She's a good host. Natural, doesn't have an Ego that needs attention.

Re: Ellen hosting the Oscars

Overall I thought it was a good show and Ellen did a good job. Two of her opening jokes rubbed me the wrong way: the one already discussed about Liza and the other announcing Jane Squibb's age and implying she was hard of hearing and confused.

I loved the singing.

I watched the Jimmy Kimmel show afterward and thought Kevin Spacey was hilarious...loved his impression of Johnny Carson.
