Oscar Gets Sexy

Since producers of the upcoming Oscar telecast want “the ceremony to be fun,” they have tapped Australia’s Hugh Jackman – who wouldn’t?! – to host the 81st Annual Academy Awards airing live on ABC on Feb. 22.

People’s Sexiest Man Alive is no stranger to hosting awards shows. He won an Emmy Award in 2005 for hosting the 2004 Tony Awards, and nominated again the following year.

And since a source close to the Broadway kudofest has called him “sexy, funny, smart, and talented. Unbelievably collaborative. It wasn‘t about him. It was about the show,” well…Jackman shan’t have any trouble making the traditionally long Academy Awards show a handsome delight to watch.
