 Hugh Jackman: To host the Oscars
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Friday that, actor Hugh Jackman is hosting the 2009 Oscars.
"Hugh Jackman is a consummate entertainer and an internationally renowned movie star," said producer Laurence Mark and executive producer Bill Condon in a joint statement." He also has style, elegance and a sense of occasion. Hugh is the ideal choice to host a celebration of the year's movies and to have fun doing it."
40-year-old Hugh Jackman, who currently stars opposite Nicole Kidman in film 'Australia', previously hosted the Tony Awards in 2004 and 2005. However, the ratings for the Academy Awards have slowly been tanking.
The Academy Awards 2008's show, hosted by The Daily Show's Jon Stewart, fell to an all-time low, averaging a 10.7 rating in adults 18-49, down 24 percent from last year.
Nominations for the 81st Academy Awards will be announced on Jan. 22.
The Academy Awards 2009 show will be aired on ABC on Feb. 22, 2009. |
