Nikki Finke reports that the person chosen to host the Oscars will be someone way outside the box:
And the person is not a TV¬†personality or stand-up comedian. In addition, I’ve learned that this year’s¬†Academy Awards won’t have the traditional segment of joke-telling near the start of the broadcast.
She also says that there are protests against Jerry Lewis for his anti-gay remarks. My first thought was it’s going to be an Oprah love-fest. Oprah could host the Oscars and is one of ABC’s biggest stars. But she’s technically a “TV personality.” It could also be Bill Clinton, which would certainly draw ratings. Hey, that’s fairly outside the box, isn’t it?
