Cannes Film Festival 2013

Who should host the 85th Academy Awards?

Tina Fey, Hugh Jackman, Sandra Bullock and...Chris O'Dowd?

Jon Stewart

OK, all you Jon Stewart haters (and that's you old AMPAS members!). Before you dismiss the multiple Emmy and Peabody winning satirist, please rematch the 2006 and 2008 programs one more time. Both moved well and Stewart was actually - gasp - funny.  No, he'll never be Billy Crystal circa 1991, but even Crystal hasn't been that good for over a decade. Stewart is sharp, witty and has a stellar writing crew that rarely fall flat on their faces.  A third time?  The charm baby.
