Ellen DeGeneres Didn't Generate Buzz


I have a feeling that more people tuned in to watch the red-carpet arrival of the Oscars than the actual show itself. I don't blame them. The show was utterly boring. Despite what some said about the many upsets of the evening, I thought the show was completely predictable. And what about Ellen DeGeneres as the host? She's dull and lifeless and didn't quite breathe life to the show. Don't get me wrong - I love Ellen and think she is one of the funniest comediennes around but perhaps she was too intimidated with the hosting gig. Her jokes were kinda lame and to think she started working on her joke since last November (she revealed that in a press conference). Bring back Billy Crystal or Whoppi Goldberg!
