- It's officially award season.
I know it's hard to find time to see all the movies,
but I am here to help.
I had someone watch them for you,
but I'm sorry, it's Ari.
Ari works in our Ellen Shop.
He's very opinionated.
So here's Ari.
[flourishing music]
- It hurts my neck.
[laughter]
I saw "Blackhat" in a theater,
and it was-- it ruined the whole movie,
'cause the volume was too loud.
You know, I can control my own volume in my living room.
And there was no food allowed in the theater.
What the hell's up with that?
I snuck in a seltzer and some Raisinets.
They're basically looking for Chris Hemsworth,
a tall, good-looking, white guy,
in the middle of Indonesia.
I'm having a hard time believing, in the movie,
they couldn't find a tall, white guy
in the middle of an Asian country.

[applause]
- He's got a point.
[cheers and applause]
He's got a point.
And here's what Ari had to say about the movie
nominated for Best Picture of the Year.
This is "Birdman."
[flourishing music]
- There was-- there was an allusion
to him being a bird,
but I never found out if he was a bird.
There was things.
There was a guy flying next to him.
I don't know.
Was he a bird, or was he not a bird?
It's not much better than--
What's that movie with the guys in prison
and he escapes from prison?
It's one of the greatest movies ever.
"Shawshank Redemption."
"Shawshank Redemption" is way better than "Birdman."
[flourishing music]
- What's that have--
What's that have to do with anything?
Thank you, Ari.
