DID WE LEARN NOTHING FROM THE EMMYS? Nikki Finke reports that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has chosen a host for this year's Oscars, who's not a TV personality or a comedian, but is involved in the movie business, and is "outside the box"--the traditional monologue will be omitted Defamer speculates (mostly in jest), but you should do so as well. (A commenter on Finke suggests that Tom Hanks fits, and would make sense.)

Finke also notes that protests have arisen over the planned honoring of Jerry Lewis with the Academy's Humanitarian Award due to his recent use of anti-gay slurs as schtick in his public appearances. Personally, I'm still waiting for Day The Clown Cried.

ETA:
Finke is now reporting that an offer has been made to Hugh Jackman.
