Eh, the Oscars have been declining the last few years, honestly. There’s less celebrating the movies of the year, and more celebrities talking politics and other things in a ceremony that has NOTHING to do with those things. Looking at you, Brad Pitt. Of course, that’s not to say the Oscars haven’t had good moments, but it’s obvious the people in charge are more concerned with politics than celebrating the movies of the past year.

Ariana DeBose is likely the closest one that someday and hopefully we will get to see her hosting the Oscars as she did it so well hosting the Tony Awards back in 2022 with her amazing "This Is The Round Of Applause" opening number. Idk if Neil Patrick Harris is interested again and Hugh Jackman is currently busy filming movies so there;s that

With all respect, this will be the best opening number, not because were expensive. It's the best because was made with talent, love and courage. These are the same reasons Hugh is a Showman, and the best Host of the Oscars. A standing ovation was the minimun he deserve.

I love how he's so rightfully amused with his own performance, stifles a giggle because no matter how silly, his show must go on. He should host again. Another I'd love to see hosting is Kermit the Frog.
@The22on 5 жыл бұрын
If you're gonna have Kermit in a musical number, i recommend bringing back Paul Williams. If you are too young to remember Paul, he was on lotsa TV shows in the sixties and seventies. He's a strange dude who wrote the Kermit hit song, "Rainbow Connection". (The other song I associate with Kermit is, "iI's Not Easy Being Green", written by Joe Raposo.) The song, Rainbow Connection, when sung by Kermit, is inspiring to me and gives me the chills. It's about how people are always looking for something 'magical' - whether that magic is something in the world or a 'magical' connection with another person. My fav lyrics are: -------- Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me. -------- What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing And what do we think we might see? The creator of the Muppets was Jim Henson. He's not a great singer, but there's a 'mysterious' quality to his voice. When he sings a song, you feel transported to a Disney-like place of wonder. The only other voice I can think of that has that same quality is Cliff Edwards, who sang When You Wish Upon A Star. That song will ALWAYS be, for me, the Gold Standard for songs for animated movies. Another 'goosebumps' song for me is, When She Loved Me from Toy Story. I've been a musician for decades, and it never ceases to amaze me how strong is the power of music. It can make you laugh, cry, hope, or despair.

This presentation established a very high level of achievement. Jackman impressed his performance on the stage of talent, passion, love, humility and above all respect for the public and colleagues. What we know as perfection was left behind that night when this tremendous human being set a new level over it. The Academy of Arts and Cinematography must return to its origins and show more respect for the millions of people who gather to see this annual event. To my best of my understanding, this ceremony is one to honor the talent and effort of all the people who entertain us with their work in making films that will be with humanity forever. Being the moderator of the event does not give him the right to mock and much less assault some of his colleagues. To Mr. Hugh Jackman my congratulations for a majestic performance and that should be the role model to follow forever. BRAVO!!!
