Hugh Jackman doesn’t want to host the Oscars again next year.

The thesp, who’s starring on Broadway with Daniel Craig in the drama “A Steady Rain,” quietly turned down the job within the past few weeks, sources said.

Jackman drew praise for his first Oscar hosting gig in February under producer Laurence Mark and exec producer Bill Condon. He may take on hosting duties again in the future, but it’s understood that he didn’t want to do the show two years in a row.

Once his Broadway run ends, Jackman will take time off and prepare for “The Real Steel,” the Shawn Levy-directed DreamWorks drama that will begin production in the spring.

It’s not like he doesn’t have a very full plate in front of him, he’s always keeping busy. But who will host the Oscars this year? Lets the rumors begin! Who would you choose as the host the next Academy Awards?
