Hollywood, California – Sometimes, it pays to mess up. Especially in Hollywood. In front of thousands of Hollywood celebrities and millions of television viewers.

Less than  24 hours after the 86th Oscar Awards were handed out in glittering, snow-flaky ceremonies at The Dolby Theater in Hollywood, the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced that while it has received thousands of emails asking that Ellen DeGeneres be again named as the host of next year’s Oscars, it has made an irrevocable decision to name John Travolta as host of the 87th Oscars.

The board of governors was reportedly impressed by Travolta’s hilarious unscripted spiel when he introduced Idina Menzel as “Adele Dazeem.” Menzel performed the Oscar-nominated song, “Let It Go,” from the Disney animated film, “Frozen.” The song went on to win the Oscar for best song.

“We’re always looking for talented hosts who are funny, can do impromptu monologues and acts, and make the four-hour awards ceremony anything but boring,” said Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs.  “Our governing board members thought that having a host who will mispronounce and mess up with the names of nominees, winners and presenters would be quite a show stealer,” she added.image

So, Oscars fans, gird your loins and brace for the funniest monologues you will ever hear on Oscar night.  For example:

“Welcome to the 87th Ocsars. I am very honored to be in the company of Hollywood greats like Mereen Strips, Martini Scoreski, Jennifer Warlence, Nidsey Porter and Steven Borgspill.  My name is Von Tratolva, and I’m your host for this evening.”

PIZZA DELIVERY GUY AT THE OSCARS DIDN’T GET FAT TIP, BUT…

imageHollywood, California (EXCLUSIVE to The Adobo Chronicles)  The still unnamed pizza delivery guy who brought three large pizzas to the Oscars last night is undoubtedly now the most famous pizza delivery guy not just in Hollywood but all over the world. But everyone is wondering whether or not he received the fat tip collected by Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres.

Well, he didn’t.

But he got something else. Television viewers will recall that earlier in the show, DeGeneres handed lottery tickets (scratchers) and a quarter to Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper (and presumably to others who didn’t win an Oscar).

The Adobo Chronicles learned that Cooper gave the lottery tickets to the pizza delivery guy. Upon his return to work after his delivery, the pizza guy scratched the tickets and one of them had a handsome prize waiting for him : $10,000!

It doesn’t end there. The pizza guy has been invited for a guest appearance this week in the Ellen Show and Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese has offered him a meaty (read: pepperoni)  role in one of his forthcoming films. image

“He wore his baseball cap througout the televised pizza segment of The Oscars, but he is actually very good looking and has the star quality Hollywood is always looking for ” DeGeneres said of the pizza guy.

So the Hollywood legend continues: If you want to be in films in Hollywood, start by waiting on tables and tending bar. Or be a pizza delivery guy.

EAST COAST TV VIEWERS WILL SEE THE OSCARS 24 HOURS LATER, ABC ANNOUNCES

New York, New York – If you think watching television coverage of the Winter Olympics 12 hours after events had already concluded is ridiculous, think again. It can get worse.

Today the ABC Network announced that the telecast of this Sunday’s 86th Oscar Awards will be seen 24 hours later on the East Coast.  The network will carry the ceremonies live from The Dolby Theater in Hollywood, but only for viewers on the Pacific Coast.  Viewers in the Mountain and Central time zones will see the recorded telecast at the same time as those on the East Coast — on Monday.

Lately, television networks have come under fire for airing events that happen on the West Coast live to viewers on the East Coast, yet those on the West Coast get to see the events three hours later.image

ABC executives explained that the network is making it up to West Coast viewers by giving them the first crack at the Oscars. “For too long, West Coasters have endured spoiler moments when outcomes are already known by East Coast viewers because of the three-hour difference in what is called “prime time TV,” they said.  “For example, television audiences on the East Coast already know who the new American Idol is before the supposedly live show even airs in the West. Yet Idol happens in Hollywood,” they added.
