On Sunday, March 2, Ellen DeGeneres hosted The Oscars for the second time.
Ellen did many comedy sketches to make The Oscars more fun. She made jokes about the weather and about the other actors and actresses.
She took a group selfie with many different actors and actresses.
Ellen also ordered pizza and gave it to members of the audience. The delivery person had no idea that he would be delivering to The Oscars, let alone run into some famous actors. When she did this, she said she did not have any money. She gave the delivery person a $1,000 tip for delivering the pizza to The Oscars.
People thought that Ellen was a very funny host, and made The Oscars seem more relaxed and a fun event to go to.
Some of the winners include:
- Best Picture: 12 Years a Slave
- Best Actor: Matthew McConaughey
- Best Actress: Cate Blanchett
- Best Supporting Actor: Jared Leto
- Best Supporting Actress: Lupita Nyong’o
- Best Animated Feature: Frozen
- Best Cinematography: Gravity
Some other winners include, The Great Gatsby, Her and Dallas Buyers Club.
Most of the performances were from the movies that had been nominated. Idina Menzel performed “Let It Go” from Frozen, Bette Midler preformed “Wind Beneath My Wings,” Pink performed “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” to honor the 75th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz, Pharrell performed “Happy” from Despicable Me 2, U2 performed “Ordinary Love” from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, and Karen O. performed “The Moon Song” from Her.
The Oscars this year were a fun and a relaxing event to go to and Ellen made and wonderful host and hopefully she will do it again because, the third time is the charm.
