On why she wanted to host again
為什麼她想再次主持
I decided to host the Oscars again because I like the challenge and I don't like to get stuck in a rut, doing the same thing everyday. So, every once in a while, I like to just challenge myself. And this year I thought I would challenge myself in front of a billion people, and the gift bag.
我決定要再次主持奧斯卡,是因為我喜歡挑戰,我不喜歡一成不變、每天做相同的事。所以有時候我就喜歡挑戰我自己。今年我想我要在十億觀眾面前挑戰我自己,還有拿禮袋。
On what she recalls about hosting in 2007
她回想2007年主持時想到什麼
Well, there are lot of memories that have stayed with me from hosting the first time. I guess the strongest memory is Clint Eastwood's breath. It was surprisingly minty.
這個嘛,有很多回憶從第一次主持後就一直跟著我。我想最強烈的回憶是Clint Eastwood的氣息。那是出人意料地帶有薄荷味的。
On her favorite Oscar hosts
她最喜歡的奧斯卡主持人
Oh, it's hard to pick a favorite Oscar host from the past. There have been so many great ones. I thought Whoopi Goldberg did a great job. She always kept the show moving. Sinbad was hilarious. I thought Steve Harvey was great.
喔,很難從過去選出一個最喜歡的奧斯卡主持人。有太多厲害的了。我想琥碧戈柏做得很棒。她總是能讓表演順利進行。Sinbad(演員)很好笑。我想Steve Harvey(主持人)也很棒。
You know what? I'm sorry, I'm thinking of Showtime at the Apollo. But that gets me an idea: what if we bring the sandman in for people that are doing their speeches for way too long? And he just sweeps and then they have to go. Sandman, you remember him. Anybody? Nope!
你知道嗎?我很抱歉,我在想的是Showtime at the Apollo(音樂節目,註一)。但那給了我一個點子:如果我們為那些致詞太久的人帶進sandman(註二)會如何?他就掃掃掃,然後他們就必須下台。Sandman,你記得他。有人記得嗎?沒有!
On show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron
有關典禮製作人Craig Zadan和Neil Meron
Craig and Neil are producing the show again this year, and I have two things to say about them: One, they have a vision of how to make the show smart and funny. And two, who are Craig and Neil? No, seriously. Seriously. They're great in bed, so I assume they're gonna be great producers.
Craig和Neil今年要再次製作這場典禮,我有兩件關於他們的事情要說:第一,他們有如何讓典禮既活潑又有趣的遠見。第二,誰是Craig和Neil啊?不,認真的。認真的。他們在床上很厲害,所以我想他們也會是很棒的製作人。
On what she'll wear
她會穿什麼
A lot of people have been asking me what I will be wearing. The question is what will I not be wearing, right? I don't know. I don't know what I'll be wearing. Do you know what you're wearing on March 2? I don't think that far ahead.
很多人一直問我要穿什麼。問題應該是我會不穿什麼,對吧?我不知道。我不知道我會穿什麼。你知道你在三月二日時會穿什麼嗎?我不在那麼久之前想它。
On her ideal post-show review
她理想中的典禮後評論
I don't really pay attention to reviews. But if I can wake up the next morning and read the headline, I guess I would want it to say something like, "While hosting best Oscar telecast ever, Ellen DeGeneres wins Mega Millions jackpot." That would be great the next day to read that.
我不會真的去注意評論。但如果我可以在隔天早上醒來,並閱讀頭條,我猜我會想要它會是一些像是:「就在主持了史上最精采的奧斯卡直播典禮的時候,Ellen DeGeneres還中了大樂透頭彩。」在隔天讀到這個會是很棒的。
註一:Ellen在上面提到的Whoopi Goldberg、Sinbad和Steve Harvey都曾是Showtime at the Apollo的主持人,但只有Whoopi Goldberg主持過奧斯卡。所以在這裡她才會說I’m sorry,因為她的回答牛頭不對馬嘴啊!
註二:在Showtime at the Apollo中,有一段節目是Amateur Night,邀請素人歌手表演。若是表演太過差勁,會有工作人員裝扮成流浪漢的樣子,帶著一支棍子請表演者下台,這個角色就是sandman。
