Chris Rock will return as host of the Oscars. He previously hosted in 2005 at the 77th Academy Awards. His first hosting job wasn't that well received. The most memorable bit may have been unintentional when Chris made a few jokes about Jude Law being in every movie. Later in the show, Sean Penn, being the typical sour puss he is, called Rock out on the joke and praised Law for being one of the finest actors. Sadly, that overshadowed some of Rock's better jokes from the night. Rock returned to present in 2012 at the 84th ceremony, and delivered some great material about black actors only being allowed to voice animals in animated feature. If he sticks to that kind of material, he'll be a much better host than several of the people who have recently hosted. Not that that is a hard achievement. Hosting the Oscars is a tough job, but Rock is coming back with some experience and that will help.I'm holding out the Globes will announce Amy Schumer as their host in due time. I get the feeling it'll be Seth Meyers who gets that job, though.
