352 Welcome Back Ellen!

I'm glad to hear Ellen DeGeneres will again host the Oscar 2014. Surely I'm no expert to judge who did the best ever job in hosting Oscar, but her work was no doubt marvelous in 2007. Though I only know it from the Opening Monologue on YouTube, she is warm and truly hilarious, effortlessly cheerful and lively. She makes people laugh without being cynical nor offensive. Comedians sometimes tend to take defiant attitudes with frowning (and I find them very much funny of course), but Ellen has different style. She smiles and makes such a pleasant air that everyone feels like laid back, more ready to relax, than to impatiently catch jokes. On the other hand she acts just straightforwardly coming to point without any hesitation. There're so many great host in Academy Awards history like Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Hugh Jackman (also I don't dislike some of Seth MacFarlane's funniest moments), but so far Ellen is the one and only.
