The Boy From Ozcar

Hugh Jackman has been tapped to host this year's Oscar ceremony, taking over for Jon Stewart, who has hosted the event for the past two years. Jackman hosted the Tony Awards from 2003 to 2005, and won the 2004 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his role in The Boy From Oz (hence, the title of this post. Witty, I know). He also won an Emmy in 2005 for his hosting performance. You can see the opening act he performed in 2004 here. I like Hugh Jackman. He's charismatic, he can sing, dance, and even direct, it seems. Plus, he seems to have a pretty good sense of humor. I'd still love to see a Conan O'Brien or Stephen Colbert hosted Oscars, but I'll take what I can get for now.
