Ellen Gets Emotional After Hosting The Oscars
Oscars host Ellen DeGeneres burst into tears on her live post-Academy Awards TV talk show yesterday , after a string of celebrities poured praise on her via video.
The humbled comedienne fought to regain composure as her studio audience gave her a standing ovation following footage of DeGeneres’ day at the Oscars, where she realized a lifelong dream to host the big show.
Ellen got choked up after watching taped post-show comments from Kate Winslet, Marc Anthony, Queen Latifah, Helen Mirren and Will Smith that had DeGeneres sobbing on her show.
“I’m crying for many reasons – I’m tired, so I’m emotional… It represented so many things to me. It represented that people believed in me, they took a chance in me to hold something like that together. It was harder than I thought and I was scared to death… It was incredible.”
