I like to watch the Oscars as much for the glam as for the host and the presenters, not to mention the winners. I never wanted to miss any of Billy Crystal’s openings.
Ellen DeGeneres is hosting the Oscars this year. It sounds like she is working incredibly hard, double shifting her talk show, and getting ready, writing and re-writing, while keeping a good spirit about it. It’s something she’s hoped to do since she hosted the 2001 Emmys.
I’m trying to enjoy every step of it: the anticipation, the day of, the night of…It will be interesting to see if this is something that I’ll do again. But right now I’m just looking forward to this one.
That’s the secret to happiness, according to one book I read: to enjoy all that goes into the final moment of accomplishment. If you are a writer, the book said, but you only enjoy it when your book is published, you will not be happy the rest of the time. But if you enjoy all that goes into writing the book, then you will be happy. I’m not sure I totally agree, because if you hope to be published and that doesn’t happen, then what.
Others say her warm approach, her positive attitude, her wit, humor and unpredictability and that she makes you feel good are parts of her appeal.
She hopes for some last minute surprises on Oscar night, like when Jack Palance did one-armed push-ups or when there was the streaker.
Chris Rock evidently told her last week that the job is ’scary as hell.’ I betcha. About 40 million watch it in the US, not to mention other countries. As she says, not too many people could do it.
She hopes to spread a happy vibe. I don’t know about you, but I can always use more happiness.
