Neil Patrick Harris Plans To Top Ellen's Selfie At The Oscars


. (Extra) Neil Patrick Harris is getting ready to host The Oscars and he has a plan to top Ellen's record breaking selfie from last year. Neil talking to "Extra's" Tracey Edmonds saying he is ready for the challenge, "That selfie was a terrific element of her show so I gotta figure out what to do, I gotta take that selfie to the other level." The actor laughed, "So, I think that just may be the downstairs level and I'll just take a picture of my stuff!"

In all seriousness, while he has hosted other award shows and looks completely relaxed, Neil admitting he is nervous, "Very, very nervous, but nerves are a part of the process, I think if you didn't have nerves hosting The Oscars, you'd be some sort of robot person, and while I'm part robot nerves still exist within me."

The Oscars host giving a little insight into how this show will be different from when he hosted the Emmys and Tonys, "You're dealing with movies, the cinema, dealing with visuals more than dealing with performers or people on TV shows and the glamour, the scale of movies is much larger so you have to be creating content that honors that larger form."

Neil also revealing he is secretly rooting for his "Gone Girl" co-star Rosamund Pike to win, "She is gorgeous, super talented, super funny, smart, she just had a baby, she couldn't look more beautiful�I'm the luckiest guy ever to be able to have been in a movie with her and been able to be intimate with her without a lawsuit or a restraining order."
