Oscar 2014 Highlights

''Welcome to the Academy Award! Here is your host! Ellen Degeneres!'' Oh my Ellen, Ellen, Ellen. Oscar 2014 has been on e of the most highly anticipated even of the year. 2014's nominees are high quality films, featuring big name actors such as Bradly Cooper, Christian Bale, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Matthew Mcconaughay and Leonardo Dicaprio. There are also some new faces such as Lupita N'yongo, Chiewtel Ejofor, Jared Leto, Barkhad Abdi and Joaquim Pheonix. Here are some highlights from the award show. 

First of all, Ellen Degenres did a fantastic job hosting the show. It was recorded as the most watched TV live event since 2000. There were multiple musical performances during the show for Best Original Song category. Pharrell Williams kicked off the show with his hit song Happy that brought many celebrity on their feet and danced Pharrell himself.



However though, Pharrell's Happy had no chance standing up against Idina Menzel's Let It Go from Frozen. Prior to Idena's performance, she was introduced by John Travolta where he complete mispronounced Idina's name!

John: Please welcome the wickedly talented, the one and only, ADELE DAZIM
Oh no John! 






After about two afters into the show, Ellen decided to ask if anyone wanted Pizza, half an hour later, Ellen arrived on the stage with a pizza guy and started distributing dinner for the biggest celebs in Hollywood! 

After dinner, Ellen pulled out her Smartphone and asked Meryl Streep for selfie wanting to break Twitter's record for the most retweeted picture. Here is the result of the selfie: 




And yes, Ellen did break Twitter's record and became the most retweeted selfie with 3 millions + retweets! 

Overall, Oscars 2014 was hell of an event and it did not disappoint me one bit. It was everything I expected and more from a show hosted by Ellen. It was a very entertaining and satisfying and amusing. Whoever hosts the show has a lot of legacy to live up to!
