Hugh Jackman was the first to be offered the hosting job at the upcoming Oscarcast by producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer, an offer he turned down because he’s preparing to shoot Wolverine with Oscar-nominated Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky. But Jackman–who in my view did an excellent job in his year as host two years ago–was just announced as a presenter in the upcoming Academy Awards hosted by James Franco and Anne Hathaway. I’m sure Jackman will be back as host one of these years.


Why not let Kinky Friedman host it? He could do a few numbers with the Texas Jewboys. That would be awesome.
How much does one get paid to host the Oscars?
It would be HILARIOUS if he mentioned the Hathaway-Franco duo are only hosting because he declined and then the duo would chase him down the stage in fake-rage or something like that
Wolverine presenting, Catwoman and Son of the Green Goblin hosting, Batman favoured to win, two of the Avengers nominated. This thing writes itself!
Come on help me out, I must be forgetting someone…
Damn, GREAT ANGLE !
Not to mention Thor’s GF (Natalie Portman), Batman’s ex (Nicole Kidman) and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence). That’ll be one helluva catfight in the Best Actress race.
And though not comic book related, but Bellatrix Lestrange and Captain Barbossa RSVP’d, as well.
Daredevil snubbed for Best Director nomination.
Thank God he turned it down, I don’t think I could bear another salute to musicals.
Bubble Goose – about $5,000.
Spiderman snubbed for Best Supporting Actor.
Hope he does not arrive on stage like he did on the awful Oprah Australian show where he got injured on a flying fox. Jackman? he’s a nice guy but would prefer Ricky Gervais.
