Who should host next year's Oscars? - Blu-ray Forum

Sussudio · 02-23-2009, 04:59 AM

Last Oscar's thread, I swear (that I'm doing at least

). I am truly curious as to people's thoughts about who would be a good host.

Christian Bale, anyone?

Seriously though, Kevin Spacey? Eh? Eh?

I thought Hugh Jackman was very good, the opening production with them doing all 5 pics, etc., was very enjoyable I thought.

Every year since 91', we have a party at a friend's house---we do ballots (usually I do them up), scoring is kept, someone wins a Main trophy & gets their name on it and year ("Best Selector") they won, then also get a smaller trophy with their name/year on it as well. Food, snacks, desserts, etc. Like your usual Super Bowl Party type thing.

- Doh, Off Topic!

Anyway, everyone seems to enjoy Billy Crystals' hosting duties, and it's been a few years since he's been there. But I could see Kevin Spacey doing it, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel perhaps.

Hugh Jackman should host again

Probably someone that has to set up for their 2010 blockbuster.

Robert Downey JR?

Danger Boy · 02-23-2009, 07:20 AM

I think Richard Simmons should host next year.

STARSCREAM · 02-23-2009, 07:49 AM

I'm not sure, how about Megan Fox!

Will Smith.

Beyonce Knowles in her red outfit from last night minus Hugh Jackman

dvd_mazter · 02-23-2009, 02:20 PM

Bring back a comedian to host. Jackman was pretty good, I liked the opening number but I missed when the host took shots at the movies and actors.

My guess that Tina Fey could host next year

or maybe Ben Stiller as Joaquin Pheonix

fupduk2 · 02-23-2009, 02:25 PM

The "D List" girl.

"Uma, Oprah....Oprah,Uma"

Blu-Benny · 02-23-2009, 02:27 PM

Hugh Jackman

Kathy Griffin?

I liked Jackman as well, so would be happy to see him back. I thought the musical numbers were entertaining. I can understand why some people want someone who is funnier, even though the presenters brought quite a bit of comedy to the fore. I mean did you see Robert Pattison try to present, he was hilarious

oh, he wasn't supposed to be funny

I think Jack Black would be interesting as a host, even though I know many people find him irritating

The "Uma, Oprah...Oprah, Uma" bit was Letterman, not Kathy Griffin.
