In a smart running gag during last night's Oscars, host Ellen Degeneres went for pizza. The pies came, she divvied them up, someone brought out plates, and the front-most celebs chowed down. While the Oscars have never been known for culinary indulgences (more like intense diets endured leading up to the event), the pies appeared to be a hit. Of course, some folks fell quicker off the fasting bandwagon for a bit of cheesy goodness, while others managed to completely refrain. Based on that range of reactions, we present the list of nominees list of pizza aficionados who got psyched for a slice. From least to most excited, here are your pizza-night winners.
