Ellen Degeneres, one of the foremost funny people in America, will be
hosting the 2014 Academy Awards on March 2, 2014. The Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences made the announcement this morning amid the
already fresh buzz about the newly elected president of the Academy,
Cheryl Boone Isaacs. Isaacs is the first African-American president of
the Academy, and she resoundingly approved of Ellen's nomination to
host.
Ellen DeGeneres will host this year's
Oscars. DeGeneres herself announced the news Friday morning on Twitter,
writing, "It's official: I'm hosting the #Oscars! I'd like to thank
@TheAcademy, my wife Portia and, oh dear, there goes the orchestra."
DeGeneres previously hosted the show in 2007 and earned a Primetime Emmy nomination for her work.
"I am so excited to be hosting the Oscars
for the second time. You know what they say -- the third time's the
charm," DeGeneres said in a statement.
