Get NPH!!!!
Exactly what I was thinking. He is leaving the door open for NPH!
I agree when in doubt bring in Neil to host your show!
I so agree!!!!!!!!!!!
I think they will..I hope they will!
NEIL PATRICK HARRIS FOR THE WIN.
The Oscars cannot get the Emmys sloppy seconds. It is supposed to be on a higher level. First the tony’s, then the emmys. Enough with NPH. Can we get a Neil Patrick Harris break already. One person should not host all the shows consecutively.
thank you. I like NPH as an actor, but i don’t see what’s so great about him as a host. after a while, singing and dancing gets corny at an awards the show. for the tony’s, yes, it make sense, but not at other shows that dont specifically honor musical theater.
Yeah, love NPH, but this would be overkill….
This makes me sad… Hugh was one of my favorite hosts. I actually watched and ejoyed the oscars last year.:(
Billy Crystal!!!
EWWWWWW!! Whats wrong with you!
I concur!
what’s wrong with YOU people? Billy was easily the best ever. It’s been so long. Bring him back.
NPH isn’t right for this gig, great though he is. Let’s go for someone a little more…traditional? But not boring or half dead. HOW ‘BOUT A CHICK???
How about Jane Lynch?
I love Jane Lynch!! I’d support that vote!
Queen Latifah is always really pleasant and has a great personality. Maybe if she is nominated Mo’Nique should host, because she is also entertaining (granted nominees never host).
and by traditional I in no way meant straight as opposed to gay. I was re-reading my comment and I thought maybe someone would infer that I meant something by that remark!! I just meant older, more of a traditional movie-star.
ELLEN Again!
hell to the no
What TV needs right now is a lot, lot less Ellen.
Not going to happen now that she is a guest judge on Idol.
shes not a guest judge…shes a judge
That’s what I meant. I accidentally typed guest by mistake.
too bad, at least he left on top!
Ricky Gervais!!!
Good choice, but Ricky Gervais is going to host the Golden Globes, so he won’t be allowed to host the Oscars in the same year.
Last year’s musical numbers were win… too bad Hugh isn’t hosting this time… NPH would be great!
RICKY GERVAIS OR BILLY CRYSTAL
Oh! So sad! I never have watched the Oscars all the way through, until Hugh hosted. I didn’t want to miss anything he was going to do next!
Enough time has elapsed since “Uma, Oprah.”. Time to give Letterman a second shot.
Somehow I don’t think this is the year they are going to invite Dave back.
Uh yeah…Letterman is a pretty dumb idea, all things considered.
Amy Poehler and Tina Fey!! How great would that be
I think they’d be better for a future Globes or Emmys gig.
WANDA SYKES or STEPHEN COLBERT!!!! no crystal, please no degeneres.
How about NONE OF THE ABOVE. Someone who has never hosted an awards show would be a nice change. Jay Leno maybe?
Leno? No thanks. We want the audience and TV viewers to stay awake, not die of boredom.
Where’s Johnny Carson when you really need him?
How about Simon Cowell, I love that guy!!!!
