This is going to be an interesting show!
:cool:

Awesome! I can't think of anyone better.

[Not Afraid]

Well, now! This might be worth watching for more than just the couture. ;)

[katiesue]

Yay - now I can actually look forward to it.

Whoohooo!!!!!!!!

At first, I thought it was just a rumor, and I didn't want to get my hopes up. Yes! I will actually watch this year.:D

Oooooh, I wish I could attend the Oscars this year more than ever! I think Jon Stewart is a perfect choice, but ... when I was lucky enough to see him live, hosting the Grammys ... all the really funny stuff was during the commercial breaks.

Okay, so now I'm really jealous.

Seriously, this is just about the first year I've ever wanted to watch the Oscars- pretty much every other time I've watched them it's been by default. (Nothing else on, hubby has control of remote control, etc).

As I said to Flippyshark about this last night: "Cool. (pause) Crap, now I have to watch the Oscars."
