AMPAS, you got some 'splainin' to do...
It's not that I don't think Hugh Jackman is fun to look at and all, but does anyone else find it odd that he was chosen to host the Oscars? I mean, if I was selecting people to host the Oscars, I'm not sure I would even put him on the list. Again, I'm not saying I don't enjoy the man: talented actor, hot body, reasonably charming, but for serious, I have never once thought of him as the kind of person who stands on a stage by himself for three hours and entertains a crowd. Did no one else want to? Was every comedian in the world busy that day? Hugh Jackman? Dude, young women and gays are already going to watch, you don't need to tempt us with man candy. I dunno, it just doesn't make sense.

ok a)I was surprised too, but mainly I am always surprised when he gets attention because I think he is incredibly unattractive. To me, he looks like a poorly done wax replica of himself.

b) Maybe they were going for some kind of Old Hollywood class act thing? Just a guy who "looks great" in a suit guiding us gracefully through the show. No yuks, no borderling offensive cracks at the guests, just a classy host. Or who knows? Maybe they'll have him do a bunch of numbers like the link above.

I believe that he hosted the Tonys... perhaps more than once. Someone must have thought he did a good job. How's it going? --Scott
