I watched Ellen's video from behind the scenes and I saw Mitch Hurwitz. I can only assume that he was either on her wiring team or he was just there to give her support. Mitch is a sneaky guy, never in the spotlight; always behind the scenes.

Very cool! Do you have a link to the video itself?
At first I didn't think it was him, but you can never mistake Mitch's smile. Yep, here you go. The Ellen Show is my favourite TV Talk Show!
Yeah, that's definitely him! You can kind of hear his laugh and he says "this is awkward" (or something similar).
I don't see any credits for the Awards on his IMDb page, so I think he may be a guest of Portia's?
^ sorry I was on my phone and I forgot to log in *face palm*
I would probably say that Ellen invited him, she had a lot of Oscar tickets to give out so I wouldn't be surprised if she did. I don't know if Portia could invite people because she was a guest herself. But I know than Vance Degeneres (Ellen's brother) was her writing team as well. Don't forget that Mitch wrote for the original Ellen Show so I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote for Ellen again.
That's right! I forgot all about that. Also, it doesn't look like the writing credits on the 86th Academy Awards IMDb page are up to date either.
Well, the main that helped Ellen are the people from her show. I'll Have to watch the video again to see who else was there.
