"Clearly the Academy read my post suggesting that Ellen DeGeneres be the next host of the Oscars&amp;amp;#8212;because it&amp;#x27;s actually, officially, 100 percent happening! And, of course, Ellen confirms in the most charming way possible: It&amp;amp;#39;s official: I&amp;amp;#39;m hosting the #Oscars! I&amp;amp;#39;d like to thank @TheAcademy, my wife Portia and, oh dear, there goes the orchestra.&amp;amp;mdash; Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) August 2, 2013 As if we didn&amp;#x27;t already know she&amp;#x27;s a great choice. This is her second stint after hosting the 2007 ceremony and even earning a Emmy nomination for the gig. Now that we have a host, we can start placing bets on what movies will be Oscar nod shoo-ins! Who&amp;#x27;s excited about Ellen? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
