 Re: Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars
Great choice, was extremely impressed by him on SNL. It wouldn't surprise me if he hosts multiple times if he does well.

 Re: Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars
A shock at first, but yeah, he's a pretty good choice. Hopefully he'll be given wiggle room to be edgy. And he's into Sinatra-type music, which should make for a good musical montage in the opening.

 Re: Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars
A better idea to attract younger audiences than Hathaway/Franco. Approve.

 Re: Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars
I'm not a fan myself, but it's an inspired choice after the enormous popularity of Ted.

 Re: Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars
He's a great showman. I think he's a perfect choice. Very Billy Crystal.

 Re: Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars
Definitely a great choice as he seems to be a pretty good improviser. Should be a fun show.

 Re: Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars
I mean if they're looking for a prominent entertainer who isn't necessarily a full-time actor, why not get Jon Stewart again? I would welcome that with much more open arms.

 Re: Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars
MacFarlane is, it seems to me, more accessible than Stewart. The impressions and such. Less political and less sarcastic.
Plus, let's face it: MacFarlane just directed and headlined a HUGE, huge comedy hit, so he's hot.

 Re: Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars
Also, he's more of an entertainer.
I don't get the backlash... MacFarlane is a FANTASTIC choice.
