Grainy Wolverine Trailer Hits The Net

Those of you who didn't go out and catch The Day The Earth Stood Still this weekend can get an early peek at the X-Men Origins: Wolverine trailer that played in front of it. The quality's about as good as can be expected, but from the looks of it, we will get some nice Gambit and Sabretooth footage, as well as some glimpses of young X-Men members, though I didn't catch any shots of Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool. John Murphy's amazing score to Sunshine is used during the first half of the trailer, just in case you were, you know, wondering or something. Catch it before it's inevitably pulled off of YouTube, or just wait for the high-res official version to come out some time in the next week or so.

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.
