Every week, we’ll pose a new “five favorites” question. You just list your five favorites that fit in that category (preferably in preference order) and you’re welcome to discuss and debate the selections and see just how much you do or do not have in common with others.
Our final Oscar-themed poll is today with your five favorite Oscar Hosts.
Which are your 5 Favorite Oscar Hosts?
Bob Hope
Johnny Carson
Billy Crystal
Steve Martin
Jon Stewart
I apologize for not having much of an opinion here. I don’t think any of the hosts (on the telecasts I’ve watched at least) have had too much of an impact. Here are 5 people I wouldn’t mind seeing as a future host:
1. Steve Carell (He is a likable comedian, extremely talented and still relevant. I think he would do a smashing job)
2. Paul Rudd (He’s headlined a few movies, but it just doesn’t seem like Rudd has gotten his “BIG” break yet. Something tells me he’d be a solid host with the right material)
3. Tim Curry (A strange choice to be sure, but I don’t know a single person who doesn’t like this guy, and he hasn’t done much in years so it would be a welcome comeback for him)
4. Jim Carrey (Not everyone likes him, but you can’t deny that he certainly has the energy and antics to put on a good show and keep viewers awake, especially in it’s final hour)
5. Jimmy Kimmel (we all know talk show host, David Letterman didn’t fare so well, but I think Jimmy has the comedic chops and the right impromptu to do a good job)
A good idea to think about possible hosts. But I could never bear an oscar show with Jim Carrey or Steve Carell hosting it…..then better no host.
– Bob Hope
– Johnny Carson
– Billy Crystal
1. Hugh Jackman
2. Friends of Oscar (ten major stars alternating hosting and presenting)
3. Billy Crystal before he got stale
I only have four favorites
Billy Crystal
Ellen
Whoopi Goldberg
Hugh Jackman
I will only name hosts that I actually watched live on the screen …(no doubt Bob Hope is the most legendary), that´s why I only have a Top3
1. Whoopi Goldberg ( I simply love her style and humor….also her costume changes were funny)
2. Ellen De Generes ( I think I totally gor for the women )
3. Billy Crystal
….by the way the worst for me was Chris Rock. I remember I always was close to switch the channel when he opened his mouth.
1. Bob Hope
2. Johnny Carson
3. Whoopi Goldberg (probably alone on this one, but I had the most fun during her hosting gigs)
4. Hugh Jackman
5. Anne Hathaway alone (I think she would have been a terrific host on her own).
Sadly, I forgot Ellen, so she would probably come in right above Hathaway. And I would only have to drop Hope and Carson from the ones I have/have not seen.
