A letter to my friend Ellen DeGeneres

In light of the 2014 Academy Awards, there are some things that need to be said to triumphant host, Ellen Degeneres.

Dear Ellen D,

First of all wow. I think I speak for the 2.8 million people who retweeted your star studded selfie, when I say that you really nailed your hosting duties. However, despite your flawless performance I have a few questions.


Last night I sat down to watch the momentous event that comes once a year. An event in which in my seventeen years I have come to look forward to more and more. There is nothing I love more than sitting down with a hot cup of tea and judging the celebrities- whom I have formed close bonds with- and under hushed tones saying to myself "who wore it best?"


While I also will admit to secretly loving the unpredictability of Jennifer Lawrence, is enough not enough? One more fall and I will personally fly to America and take you to leg rehabilitation, as the most watched girl in Hollywood, it's time to get it together J-Law.


Also, I think we all just need to take a minute and say Sandra Bullock where is George? Was he not the male star in Gravity? Is he not your latest man candy? Sandy I need some clarification here. And more importantly did you end up paying that pizza delivery guy?


As the highest rating Oscars since 2005 and the highest rating entertainment event since the Friends finale of 2004, Ellen it's thanks to you. For once a host has finally realised that it takes a solid 48 hours of starvation before fitting into an Oscar's appropriate dress, I applaud your choice of pizza, but somewhat question the choice of only 3 large pizzas?


As a single tear rolls down my eye as 12 Years a Slave wins the coveted best picture Oscar I wonder what this years oscar's would have been like without the spark of Ellen D. As you predicted early on Ellen-

"It's going to be an exciting night. So many possibilities."


Your efforts to 'just keep swimming' have seen you finally find your way. Thanks for a great three hours Ellen, may you always look fabulous in a white suit under the scrutiny of the world.


So to those who watched the Oscars I applaud your effort and mental stamina and to those who didn't, all you need to know is Meryl Streep did not win despite being slapped in the face by Julia Roberts in the brilliant August Osage County.


Until the next entertainment story breaks-

Maddy
