After her successful stint in 2007, Ellen DeGeneres returned last night to host her second Academy Awards ceremony.
Her deadpan delivery wasn't to everyone's taste, but we were big fans here at Digital Spy.
When we finished drawing up our petition to get her down at The Comedy Store, we re-watched that opening monologue and rounded up our ten favourite, funniest and most risqué lines.
1. We think bitchy Nebraska matriarch Kate Grant would love this
"June Squibb is nominated for Nebraska. At 84 years old, she is the oldest nominee. She was wonderful in Nebraska. *shouts in Squibb's direction* "I'm Telling Everyone That You Were Wonderful In Nebraska - The Film You Did Was Wonderful!"
2. After Arrested Development, we hope Liza didn't take this too badly
"One of the most amazing Liza Minnelli impersonators I have ever seen in my entire life. Just really, seriously. Good job, sir. Really."

June Squibb received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nod for playing Bruce Dern’s wife in Nebraska, which received a nomination for Best Picture. A first-time nominee at 84, Squibb couldn’t be more proud of being a part of the Alexander Payne-directed family drama.
June Squibb On 'Nebraska' Role
As Kate Grant, Squibb played a woman, whom she believed practiced a commitment to candor throughout her entire life, is unfailingly loyal and unbreakably strong. “I think that she’s a woman who… she has no filter. She probably never had a filter. I mean I can see her being like that at 15, and she just says what comes into her mind. It all comes right out her mouth,” Squibb told Uinterview exclusively.
“I think she’s very faithful, she’s loyal to that husband and I don’t think she would ever leave him and she will...

A divorced father looking for new love, a woman dealing with a relationship that turned from romance to routine years ago, a charismatic drug dealer who spies something new in his web, half of the most fascinating cinematic relationship of the year, and a slave & her brutal owner — 2013 featured numerous memorable performances but these are just a few of the ones that will stand the test of time.

This article first appeared in OscarWrap: The Race Begins. When Alexander Payne called June Squibb to offer her a role in “Nebraska,” he had a simple pitch for the actress who’d played the wife of the title character in his “About Schmidt” a decade earlier. “I have another icon for you,” Payne told Squibb. “I gave you Jack Nicholson, and now I’m giving you Bruce Dern.” In return, Squibb gave Dern all he could handle and then some. As Kate Grant, a long-suffering, tart-tongued wife fed up with her husband’s alcohol-fueled fantasies and rages, the 83-year-old actress steals scene after.

Starting its limited release in the Us earlier in the month, and arriving in the UK at the end of next week, Alexander Payne’s Nebraska has been one of the most talked-about films on the festival circuit this year.
Payne’s follow-up to The Descendants had its world premiere at Cannes in the spring – you can read our review here – and has been tipped to earn Bruce Dern a Best Actor nomination ever since.
Last week, Paramount released two new character featurettes for Dern and his on-screen wife, Kate Grant (June Squibb). And as promised, the studio has returned this week with the final profile for Dern’s on-screen son, David, played brilliantly by Will Forte.
After receiving a sweepstakes letter in the mail, a cantankerous father (Bruce Dern) thinks he’s struck it rich, and wrangles his son (Will Forte) into taking a road trip to claim the fortune.

Check out our Experts' rankings above for Best Supporting Actress: The listing on the left is from October 1, while the right-hand side is from November 22. In the past 53 days, June Squibb ("Nebraska") has jumped from sixth place to fourth, while the opposite fate has befallen Margo Martindale ("August: Osage County"). As more and more of our Experts catch screenings of these hot Oscar contenders, they continue to update their predictions accordingly. The flip-flopping of Squibb and Martindale may be attributed to the fact that Squibb has a showy, memorable performance in "Nebraska," while Martindale is forced to play second fiddle to the scene-stealing Meryl Streep in "August: Osage County." In recent years we've seen Oscar voters go crazy for brassy broads telling it like it is, a role that Squibb embodies as Kate Grant, overbearing mother to Will Forte and wife to Bruce Dern.

Alexander Payne makes his anticipated return this year with Nebraska, the brilliant follow-up to last year’s Oscar-winning The Descendants.
Payne’s leading star this time around, Bruce Dern, has been abuzz with critical acclaim since the film’s Cannes debut – you can read our review here. And now Paramount has released two new character profiles for Dern and June Squibb, his on-screen wife, who stars opposite him as the rather feisty Kate Grant.
After receiving a sweepstakes letter in the mail, a cantankerous father (Bruce Dern) thinks he’s struck it rich, and wrangles his son (Will Forte) into taking a road trip to claim the fortune. Shot in black and white across four states, Nebraska tells the stories of family life in the heartland of America.
Will Forte’s performance as the duo’s son, David, is nothing short of brilliant, and certainly worthy of going to the Oscars alongside Dern.

If you have Midwestern roots, you probably know a Kate Grant. She’s hard-as-nails. She doesn’t suffer bullsh–. And, most importantly, she doesn’t have a filter.
In Nebraska, Descendants director Alexander Payne’s black-and-white ode to the heartland, June Squibb gives life to this archetype through the feisty Kate. The matriarch of the Grant family will just as soon call a long-deceased woman a whore as she’ll tell her son fairly explicit details about who fancied her in her youth.
“When I read this script I just thought, ‘I know this lady,’” Squibb told EW. “I’m from Illinois.
