I will be the first, but CERTAINLY not the last to say...what the FUCK?

Here's my guess; there's very likely not going to be an Oscars ceremony (at least not in February), so they thought they'd be funny?

Can I be the first to say I freaking love this choice? Hugh is funny and a great entertainer. I think he'll rock the house.

Thank you Academy. Although it'd be so much better if instead of the Shrine Auditorium you'd make the Oscars in some sweaty dirty desert and let Hugh grow some stubble.

The Academy looks like they want to add a bit of star power to the hosting duties.

But I want to see Colbert host, just once. In character.

I'm actually kind of curious. Everyone has been saying Hugh Jackman was fantastic hosting the Tonys, I guess he even won an Emmy for it.

Yeah, I don't like the direction this is going. This is not the Tonys, it's the goddamn Oscars.
