My dream of the awkwardness of Kathy Griffin hosting will never happen. Sarah Silverman WILL host in the next 10 years, me thinks. I don't believe people should host 2 years in a row, so Ellen should return in the near future. But I really would've loved Steve Martin back, as he is my favorite. That being said, I am very happy. After all, if we get anything half as funny as the Best Actress campaign videos ("Now here's a nice American name: REESE.", "Keira Knightley: Acting While Beautiful") from 2006, it'll be gold.
From Yahoo:
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced Wednesday that Stewart will host the 80th awards show Feb. 24 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
Oscar telecast producer Gil Cates described Stewart as smart, quick and funny. He said Stewart loves movies and is a great guy.
Stewart got mixed reviews when he hosted the 78th annual awards. Some jokes fell flat and some critics expected the political satirist to be edgier.
Stewart joked that he is thrilled to be asked for a second time, because the third time is a charm.
Stewart hosts "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" on Comedy Central.
He hosted the Grammy Awards in 2001 and 2002.
Maybe Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep can prepare a sketch!
