While it’s fun to see our favorite movie stars and other celebs dress up in gowns that cost more than some houses and win awards for our favorite movies, Ellen DeGeneres brought a little something to this year’s Oscars that we’ve never seen before…a pizza delivery guy. This little stunt was my favorite part about the Oscars. As a common waitress myself, I find it amazing that she brought this average man onto the show. What a lucky guy! Not only did he get a hefty tip, but also the experience of a life time. Post-Oscar, Ellen then brought the man onto her show, where she gave him his tip, a total of $1000 collected from celebrities into a hat. I’m not sure if I’d spend the money, or frame it.
