Stewart set as host of 78th Oscars
Source: Hollywood Reporter

As the clock ticks ever closer to the 78th Annual Academy Awards on March 5, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has finally found a host in Jon Stewart.

Sources confirmed Stewart's selection, which was reported Wednesday evening by the Los Angeles Times' Oscar watch site, theenvelope.latimes.com. An Academy spokesman declined comment.

The assignment would represent the first Oscar-hosting spot for Stewart, who headlines Comedy Central's "The Daily Show." Stewart does have black-tie experience, though, having hosted the Grammy Awards in 2001 and 2002.

Oscarcast producer Gil Cates' choice of a host had become the subject of mounting suspense in Hollywood. Chris Rock, last year's host, was not asked to reprise the role. Reportedly, Billy Crystal, who has hosted eight times, turned down the honor. Speculation also had centered on such other previous hosts as Whoopi Goldberg and Steve Martin.

that just proves how edgeless and normal stewart and the daily show really is.  Conan is right again!

Great choice... I didnt think they would choose him but I like it. I wanted Conan to do it, but I think it will be good with him too.

Stewart has become a one-trick pony ever since the Crossfire incident. I'll watch the Colbert Report all day long, but hearing the same whiny jokes about Bush, it gets old. Colbert should host!

Oh I'm sure it'll be funny, my only complaint is his jokes are really stale and repetitive, because the headlines he's reporting on are jokes in themselves. He still makes me laugh with his interviews, but that's about it.

I agree, Terrence Howard is so so awesome. And Amy Adams getting nominated is a beautiful surprise. "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" is a bit surprising, but cool to see. I'm not too depressed by Crash's nominations, because come on who didn't see that coming. My eyes just blur everytime I see it, I know it won't win a damn thing (except maybe screenplay).

Most depressing: someone please explain to me again why the fuck Grizzly Man isn't on here?
WWPTAD?

modage

someone please explain who george clooney is supporting in syriana?  or how the fuck jake gyllenhall is supporting heath ledger in brokeback?  because i will fight you.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

life_boy

Nothing too surprising here except for the love for Capote.  I was only expecting nods for Hoffman, Keener and maybe screenplay. 

Of the performances from Violence, it was Maria Bello's that I thought was the most interesting and award worthy.

Also, how did Syriana become an original screenplay?

yeah, for some idiotic reason, the academy's documentary branch screening committee didnt think it was in the top FIFTEEN to be eligible for nomination this year. fuckin' stupid.

people love clooney, and are you asking why jake is supporting and not leading? or are you asking why jake was nominated at all? cause the academy doesn't make those decisions, you know.. the filmmakers typically do that to avoid splitting the votes. so its really irrelevent to complain about that.

thumbs down:
- no grizzly man
-while nobody saw cinderella man when it came out, it was still one of the best movies of the year by far and crowe should've been nominated even if he is the words biggest asshole
- the new world just for cinematography. no thank you.

thumbs up:
- academy remembered constant gardener
- lots of crash love, sorry guys, it was a great movie. but no, i would NOT vote it as the best picture of the year. moving on..
- amy adams for junebug. awesome
- WILLIAM HURT for history of violence. even though theres no way in hell hes getting it, thats great.
- terrence howard, yes. more awesome. which brings me to my next point
- the live performance of "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" is going to be one of the funniest moments in oscar history.
- munich recognition, i was worried it'd get snubbed
- all the capote love. i was worried it wouldnt get a best picture nod but then it gets that AND keener for best supporting.  
- clooney picks up the oscar hat trick for directing and writing g&g and acting in syriana. suck on that, maude.  :twisted:
