I thought Ellen did a great job, it was one of the best awards shows I have seen in many years.

Ellen did a great job. Mark Wahlberg wasn't the one hurting, that was Eddie Murphy. Maybe he'll figure out that he can't do one real movie and then regurgitate the same crap on the public that he's been doing for years now.

Ellen was dull. Her schtick might be fine for a tv talk show but it was too unsophisticated for the Oscars. She was too hell-bent on being uncontroversial. And let's face it', it's just not the Oscars without some trenchant political humor and liberal outrage.

Ellen was funny! Unlike all of those tired old men who stand at the podium and make lame jokes, she is refreshing and made the program something that outsiders - we legions of fans not in 'the industry' could enjoy and laugh at.

Ellen did an excellent job hosting the Oscars last evening. Actually, although the event was still long --they always are -- I felt this was one of the best produced Oscar Award Shows that I have seen. The show had an organic continuity that held together. Let's face it... the Oscars is not about the host ... it is about the awards. Ellen should be invited back to host the Oscars again.

I think Ellen was cooool. get a grip if you really think anything more than low keey will go over with a MASS audience, under the circumstances I think she was the best bit!!

Bored me to death. Had to turn it off. Ellen made Whoopi look good.

The show dragged and was full of lame comedic bits. I thought Johnny Carson was her idol? She fell far short of Johnny, or Billy Crystal for that matter.

What was up with the sound effects choir? Like we really needed to see that? They looked like out-of-work actors hoping for their big break.

And the shape shifters (excuse me, modern dancers)? If I wanted to watch adults contort themselves into different shapes and misrepresent themselves as various things (a bus? a penguin?) I would pay more attention to the 2008 presidential candidates.

Why can't they do an artsy-fartsy award and then an acting award, and then an artsy-fartsy award and then an acting award? It would certainly make it more interesting!

I thought I was the only one who thought it was terrible. I couldn't understand what everyone was laughing at. Nothing was funny. Bring back Steve Martin or Billy Crystal. Or prop up the rotting corpse of Bob Hope.
