The Academy Awards took place March 2nd 2014 in Hollywood at the Dolby Theater., sunny California. Unfortunately not this year, this year was cloudy with a few showers. What is worse they decided to take the tents down excepting for it not to rain after 3 days of rain. However, the show must go on! This years Oscar's were hosted by the one and only Ellen Degeneres. Ellen brought funny back to the awards. I believe this awards have been the best in a while.
The opening act was funny, actually notice the audience laughing. Few highlight moments of the night was Ellen ordering Pizza and giving it to many A list celebrities. Brad Pitt even got up and help give out pizza, which later was photographed taking a bite out of it. The one and only Han Solo (Harrison Ford) couldn't help but take a slice of pizza. Who says celebrities don't like pizza.
Pizza wasn't the only exciting part of the night. Ellen was taking photos with her Samsung cellphone, a lot of selfies with celebrities. After going around she ended up with Meryl Streep, which she then invited Julia Roberts, at the end it became a group selfie also including Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt,, Kevin Spacey and a few others. Photo was taken by Bradley Cooper. Ellen tweeted the photo with caption "If only Bradley's arm was longer. Best photo ever. ". She told the viewers to retweet the photo. This led to Twitter crashing for a little bit after having so much traffic. The photo retweet estimates at 1.8 million, Between previous retweet record hold by President Obama.
The night was filled with laughter and few tears here and there and a lot of selfies. This year the award had performances by Pharrel, Pink, Bette Midler, U2 an a few others. There was some great speeches as well.
Overall this years awards seem more entertaining and less boring. Ellen Degeneres did a great job in my book. Broke a few records while at it. Congrats to all the winners out there. Check out the full list of winners.
