Second time host Ellen DeGeneres has been labeled "transphobic" after she made a joke on Liza Minneli and told her that she looked like a drag performer on Sunday's awards night. "Hello to the best Liza Minnelli impersonator I've ever seen," says Ellen as she opened the 86th Annual Academy Awards show with her jokes, adding, "Good job, sir."

After she made her final comment, many Twitter users criticized the bubbly host and did not appreciate her funny antics.

"I did not appreciate Ellen's mean joke about Liza. I found it transphobic and disrespectful," says one Twitter user.

"The fact that calling a woman a man in drag is transphobic. Ellen is great but she made a mistake with that," says another user.

The 67-year-old Liza also spoke to TMZ about her feelings and said that Ellen's joke "went a little stray on her."

"I don't think she meant any harm at all, and I think she's a wonderful lady, and I think she did great," said Minelli.

While Ellen is making jokes, televiewers are complaining that the 2014 Oscars telecast run longer than "Ben Hur" or "Gone With the Wind." Compared to last year's 40 million viewers, the 2014 Oscars drew in 43 million viewers which places Hollywood's biggest night second only to NFL's playoffs.

After seven years in hiatus, host Ellen DeGeneres never loses her charm of inflicting fun in the show thanks to her unexpectedly sharp jokes. But everybody is aware that her hosting gig back in 2007 is one epic performance and she can never out do her previous self.

She gently made fun of Jennifer Lawrence's' Oscars 2013 episode and her almost falling out the limousine on Sunday night.

"If you win tonight, we should bring you the Oscar," quipped Ellen as the whole Dolby Theater burst into laughter.

But after the edgy opening monologue, the Oscars went from one montage to another that according to National Post: "There was the montage to films that were based on a true story, which was fine and all but suffered from lack of a point."

With more fillers to come, some viewers were already bored and just wanted it to be finished. Not to mention the many minutes lost during the pizza-delivery gag.
