My "Oscar's Best Of's"

In honor of the Oscar's last Sunday, this week I decided to write about some of my favorite highlights. First and foremost, in my opinion they (whoever it is that makes these decisions) could not have done a better job with choosing Ellen DeGeneres as the host. I have always been a huge Ellen fan--I have actually been to a live taping of her talk show twice--and she brought all the goofy antics from her show to this spectacular Hollywood event. If only DJ Tony O was there, it would have been just like her show.

There were so many "best moments" from the Academy Awards this year--so many more than there are usually, if you ask me. Here they are, according to me:

1. When John Travolta completely mispronounced Idina Menzel's name

Adele Dazeem? Check it out:

2. When Ellen snuck up on Sandra Bullock and Leonardo DiCaprio

I also would have liked to see her sneak up on Amy Adams...she seemed a little bored.

3. Lupita Nyong'o's acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress

She is so inspiring!!

4. Kevin Spacey just being awesome

Frank Underwood, ladies and gents.

5. Kerry Washington looking stunning even though she's SO pregnant

She was so excited about the pizza and it was so adorable.

6. Pharrell Williams wearing shorts with his tuxedo

You've got to hand it to him for daring to shock everyone with his clothing choices.

7. Pharrell Williams and Meryl Streep shimmying

My two heroes, of course.

8. Harvey Weinstein handing Ellen $200 for the pizza

Classic.

9. Jared Leto being really sweet with his mom

Doesn't it just make you fall in love with him that much more?

10. The selfie that won for most retweeted photo--and probably also for "most movie stars in one selfie"
