Re: Ellen hosting the Oscars

I really thought Ellen did a great job. I watched during the commercials of The Walking Dead (sorry, Norman Reedus trumps nearly everyone). I loved Cate Blanchett's dress, but I was waiting for them to cue the music during her acceptance speech. I was disappointed that Leonardo DiCaprio didn't win an Oscar. He is such an amazing actor...

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.

Me, too! I'd never seen that side of him before. He sure had the Carson mannerisms down pat.

What did you think of the 12 Years a Slave joke?

...it reminded me a lot about this board...... But it was also spot on.....and I was actually surprised she would acknowledge it....

Re: Ellen hosting the Oscars

I only watched little bits here and there. She messed up a couple times but it was a huge crowd, she was probably a little nervous. I thought the passing out pizza was pretty funny. I like Ellen.

Re: Ellen hosting the Oscars

The one thing I did not "get" was when Ellen had the guitar.

She is one of my favorite hosts, Oscar, TV...wherever!

Ellen proved again that one doesn't have to resort to locker room humor to be funny.

Ellen really looked beautiful last night, and the entire show moved along nicely. The tributes were beautifully and tastefully done.
