Best and Worst of the 2011 Tony Awards: Neil Patrick Harris makes his case for Oscar host
Hard to find a lot of 'worsts' in this show
Best: Hugh Jackman and Neil Patrick Harris play 'I can host any show better than you'
One former Emmy-winning host, Hugh Jackman, meets another former Emmy-winning and current host, Neil Patrick Harris in their own version of "Anything You Can Do" from "Annie Get Your Gun." Jackman, an acclaimed Oscar host, has some biting quips, "I only play the big rooms" and knocking the "How I Met Your Mother" star, "Television, right." It's beautifully played, full of fun and danced to the nines. The chances of both men hosting the Academy Awards this year or ever is slim, but if Jackman isn't interested in returning for 2012, someone please ask Harris. Who cares if his movie career rides on "The Smurfs," he is a pro who knows how to work a room, entertain and keep a show going. And after growing up in Hollywood, he's more than qualified.
