Our good friends over at Cinematical are reporting that the
Oscars, rejected by everyone from Chris Rock (well, to be fair,
he wasn't actually asked to host) to Billy Crystal (too busy) to Steve Martin and Whoopi Goldberg, may finally have a
real live host....The Daily
Show's Jon Stewart! Okay, it hasn't actually technically been confirmed yet, but we knew you'd be as excited as we
are to hear this rumor, and since it was started by the LA Times "The
Envelope", it has some cred. This is even better than getting William Shatner to
host! Stewart, with his political snarkiness and awesome comedic timing, is the perfect choice to host the
Oscars (and I don't say that just because he's my secret TV boyfriend, either). Now for the real question -- will he
work in Steven Colbert interviewing Oscar nominees? Oh please oh please oh please!
I still like the idea of a reality show to pick next year's Oscar host, though.

Um... Excuse me? Jon, as my (yeah, MY) TV boyfriend, has failed to mention you so, clearly, you must be delusional. Why won't you people just let me and Jon live in peace?!
Heh, but really... I'm very excited about this. Last year's performance by Chris Rock was... a wee bit awkward, let's just say. Hopefully Jon can turn things around.
