 Jon Stewart picked to be the Oscar Host.
Has the Oscar Host been picked yet? In searching, I didn't see a person named yet.
ALSO, Do you have a preference on who you would like to see host the Oscars this year?

No host yet.
I have to think about who I'd like. Not Whoopi, not Chris Rock, not Billy Crystal.
I'd be ok with Steve Martin again.
I shall think it over.

I was wondering how Adam Sandler would go over?

Martin would work. I don't want Rock again. He was annoying and not funny in the least. They could also try someone new, like Sandler for example.

I don't think Adam Sandler would be a good choice. At all. For one, he's not funny. But that's a personal opinion.
What I don't think can be debated is that he just doesn't have the charisma for a job like that. Ever seen him give a live intervew? It's kinda painful.

That's OK - no debate coming. Just an explanation.
I only mentioned him because sometimes I think the host should just move the show along better and leave the jokes to the comedy shops. Most times the jokes don't work, anyway. I would rather see a free-flowing show.

Martin was very funny, although It seems not many people share that opinion... I´d go with someone new, like Ellen DeGeneres, or Robin Williams - I don´t like him as an actor, but have the impression he is quite a great showman.

Hasn't Robin Williams hosted before - this could have been awhile ago though.

Hmmm... I don´t think so! Not the Oscars, at least. But I may be wrong...

The 80´s? I wasn´t even born in the 80´s!
Erhmmm, I mean... Long time ago, just co-host. He could do it on his own now.

'Cause you were born in the '70's
The problem with Robin Williams - ABC would have to use the 6-second delay a LOT.

Hmmm... maybe. But can he be any worse in that sense than Chris Rock?

I'd love to see Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Vince Vaughn, or Chris Rock (again) host the awards.

Chris Rock Won't Host Next Academy Awards 2 hours, 2 minutes ago
LOS ANGELES - Chris Rock won't be back cracking wise as the host of next year's Oscars telecast.
