Hugh Jackman to Host the Oscars
Hugh Jackman is set to host the 81st Oscars.
Hugh Jackman will host the 81st Academy Awards® telecast, producer Laurence Mark and executive producer Bill Condon announced today. This will be Jackman’s first time center stage at the Oscar show, although he has previously been a presenter.
“Hugh Jackman is a consummate entertainer and an internationally renowned movie star,” said Mark and Condon in a joint statement. “He also has style, elegance and a sense of occasion. Hugh is the ideal choice to host a celebration of the year’s movies – and to have fun doing it.”
He seems like an odd choice to me, he’s no comedian. But he did win a Tony award and an Emmy so he’s no stranger to big stages.

Hugh is a great choice for the Oscars. He hosted the Tony awards three times, and won his Emmy for the brilliant job he did hosting the Tonys. you should watch the Tony clips of him on You Tube.
Hugh is a great song and dance man, and really shines in front of a large audience!
