Totally agree about Ellen’s mean spirited remark about Liza… Ellen was interviewed by Robin from Good Morning America the day before and told Robin that she will be tasteful and not be disrespectful to the stars that will be attending and goes on and on about how she upholds The Academy Awards with high respect and esteem… then does the show the complete opposite of what she had previously told Robin. Two faced Ellen. I always felt that Ellen has this weird disturbing edge about her… Can’t quite pinpoint what exactly it is.. but I find her persona quite vexed and disturbing.

I completely agree with Jo. The Liza joke was harsh and even though I hardly count myself a Liza-sympathizer, I was in that moment. Part of what makes Ellen the superstar she is is that she’s managed to make a career out of being funny without it being at other’s expense. Disappointing to say the least.
