Musings From New York

Yes, a year before the Academy Awards, the hunt for the next host is on.

IMDb reports that "Bruce Davis, executive director of the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences, is thrilled with how Rock handled his chores, but that he he has huge doubts he'll be asking the funnyman back - at least not next year."

Thank the Gods, I say! I didn't like Chris Rock's hosting - I thought it was toned down, and frankly ... lame!

You know who would make a good host? Seinfeld! Can you imagine Seinfeld-episode-ish shorts sprinkled through the whole Oscar show ... and stand-up routine at the beginning? That would rock!

Jay Leno might be good too. Conan O'Brien is probably too fringe for the Academy crowd though.
