The happiest, most fun Oscars ceremony ever? That seems to be the general consensus.

Polls have overwhelmingly voted Ellen DeGeneres as the host with the most. Academy Award-watchers loving her genuine, simply fun approach to what can be the most drawn out awards ceremony in the history of awards ceremonies.

Here are our Top 15 reasons why these Oscars rocked:

*Ellen as host was funny, naughty, a little bit (nicely) cynical and still retained the art of delivering good, clean humour.

*The musical performances were great — from Pharrell singing Happy which got the audience buzzing; to Bette Midler doing her hit Wind Beneath My Wings to Pink, who belted out Over the Rainbow. All class.

*Speeches were fun, humble, passionate and heartfelt, from Matthew McConaughey's ode to Dazed and Confused (plus his love for his family) and Cate Blanchett, who also thanked her beloved Sydney Theatre Company. All nailed their words with total class.

*Loved how 'Our' double-whammy Oscar winner, the dynamic Catherine Martin, pulled her speech out of her bra. "It's very Australian,'' she smiled.

*With social media platforms in overdrive, so many feeds gave us a full 360-degree-view of the entire awards ceremony. (Doubt we'll see as much when the drinks really start kicking in.)

*Everyone — from presenters, to wannabes to guests and big-time filmic folk — seemed to be in purely happy moods. Maybe we can blame it on the rain — the great leveller!

*The pizza delivery scenario. OK, it was kinds corny, but hey Ellen dragged the pizza delivery guy on stage and we watched Brad Pitt hand a slice of pizza on a paper plate to Meryl Streep, it was pure slapstick fun. The joke was made even better when Ellen asked some of Hollywood's biggest players (including studio boss Harvey Weinstein) for money to tip the delivery guy!

*The star-studded 'multi-selfie', orchestrated by Ellen and taken by Bradley Cooper, featuring a swag of the biggest front row Hollywood names. Only took an hour or two to become the most-retweeted photo ever!

*An awards ceremony isn't the same without a few slip ups. This year, Jennifer Lawrence tripping over her red gown and the zip on the gown of E! News' Giuliana Rancic splitting were just a few of the (fun) malfunctions.

*You couldn't help but love Jared Leto's balayage (that's hair talk for painted-on, bleached hair tips) and his simply brilliant and heart-moving speech.

*Cate Blanchett telling Julia Roberts to 'hashtag suck it' — obviously an 'in' joke that we will get to the bottom of!

*Lupita Nyong'o, 12 Years A Slave Best Supporting Actress award winner. We don't even need to give a reason. She just 'is'.

*Stars and their beautiful mums as their Oscar 'dates' — from Leo to Jared to Matthew (OK, he had his gorgeous wife there too).

*Seeing Liza Minnelli rocking some blue hair (to match her blue silk pant suit) and marvelling at Kim Novak's extraordinary face.

*Matt McConaughey's 'hero' words — to approach everyday with someone to look up to, something to look forward to and someone to be your hero. Mad about him.
