IT ALL STARTED WELL ENOUGH

how did ellen do
 
she hosted the oscars again for the 2nd time last night
 
and right away threw in a dig about it being so long since she returned
 
so, how'd she do as host
 
that depends on when you tuned in
 
right from the git go she went surprisingly dark
 
she was edgy and mean-spirited with her opening monologue
 
whipping out a number of edgy zingers at the hollywood crowd
 
a crowd that she isn’t really a member of
 
she knows she seems to be always the outsider
 
but that's because of this obvious reason – her wardrobe
 
ya see, she wears men's clothes - in public and on TV
 
the real surprise of the night was that she actually wore a dress
 
but that was just in fun because she dresses like a man
 
it was funny when she was bugging jonah hill to 'see it'
 
saying that you showed us something in that film that I
 
haven't seen in a very, very long time...
 
that'd be right about the time when she ‘switched’ sides
 
then she referred to showbiz legend liza minnelli as
 
one of the most amazing liza minnelli impersonators i have ever seen
 
going on the say good job sir
 
now let’s think about this for a second – ellen calling liza a man
 
liza was the one wearing an evening gown and not a tux
 
but later, following that hit-and-miss monologue
 
ellen switched gears and started doing some crowd work
 
then handed out lottery scratchers and did a very long pizza bit
 
that bit helped the show last a long 4 hours
 
then she passed the hat around for cash
 
and i do mean thee hat
 
then she decided to try to take a record breaking selfie
 
a selfie with actual movie stars
 
meryl, j-law, angelina, julia, pitt and spacey and even lupita
 
the tweet shut down twitter for almost 20 minutes
 
but later she brought it all full circle by stopping by minnelli's seat
 
for a another selfie session and sort of an apology for the earlier crack
 
liza just looked up and said
 
 
maybe someday you’ll find your way, deary
