Ellen DeGeneres will return in March to host the 2014
Academy Awards not Seth MacFarlane, whose 2013 appearance was both cheered (by
his fanboys) and jeered (chiefly by women who objected to gender-nightmare
jokes such as “We Saw Your Boobs”).
DeGeneres’ appointment was heralded in a statement that may
have been a jab at MacFarlane (or just a really nice statement about Ellen:
“There are few stars today who have Ellen’s … great warmth and humanity.”
Even Ellen’s own
tweet hinted at a more equality-minded evening on the way: “I’d like to thank
@TheAcademy, my wife Portia and, oh dear, there goes the orchestra.”
