I agree!
I love that Hugh Jackman's going to be presenting, and I think he'll do a brilliantly, but I'm also just relieved it's not going to be Gervais.

I find him way too doughy and odd looking to stand looking at, his accent too thick and, oh, he's not funny.
I think Gervais is pretty funny. He has this sort of "everyman" quality that makes him very amiable in my opinion. I think he would have been great for the Academy Awards.
I've actually tried to like him but I find him terribly annoying and not even mildly amusing.
he's a fat smug, self-centred twat who's only amusing when writing for other people in Extras.
Wow. Didn't know so many people hated Ricky Gervais!
Anyway, Dark Horizons has more information on this year's telecast, which interestingly enough is being produced by Bill Condon (director of Kinsey, Dreamgirls).
Looks like they're shaping up formula. I don't know about removing the opening monologue, since that is usually my favorite part of the show (depending on the host) and I always thought it allowed the host to start becoming comfortable, but I'm interested to see how this pans out. Will it be like the Golden Globes where we go straight to the awards presentation?

I don't care. I'm just glad for the prospect of being entertained at an awards show for the first time in I don't know how long. The so-called-humorous monologues rarely strike me so. I miss the days of the Hollywood entertainer - the multi-talented individual who has charm, charisma, and can do more than pretend they're someone they're not. Hugh is positively lovely - he's attractive, he sings, he dances, AND he acts. I can't wait to see what we get from this year's Oscars.
