Oscar night is a ridiculous night where you go to these parties and you see everyone that you've ever wanted to work with and admire.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Hosting the Oscars is much like making love to a woman. It's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of town.
As I'm always fond of telling hosts at the Oscars who are doing it for their first time, for everybody who wins, there are four people who don't. As the evening wears on, the room fills up with losers, and then they are bitter.
When you're up for an Oscar, you just get offered everything. It's fantastic, but a lot of it you're completely inappropriate for.
The very phrase 'Oscar night' used to accelerate my pulse. For one thing - dating myself - it meant Bob Hope. He always had good, strong jokes, that faultless delivery, and always a new joke about his own films' failure - once again - to be honored.
I can't believe I am hosting the Oscars. It's an honor everyone else said no.
The Academy and the Oscars have been very gracious to me.
There is no worse situation to be in than Oscar night. Not knowing whether you've won is completely draining.
There's a green room at the Oscars. It's really small, very warm, and it's really fun because you get to see everyone just lounging on couches. It's right before you go out to present, so it's everyone in there. And then they have this crudite section, and cheeses and crackers.
I adore being able to go to the Oscars and know every single person at the party afterwards.
The Academy Awards was an amazing night. I know I kind of lost my mind a little bit. I apologize for that. That night went so fast; I can't remember what I said or what happened.
