No Hugh? Great! Hire Neil Patrick Harris!

Filed under: Awardz > Hugh Jackman > Neil Patrick Harris

hosts.jpg

The Oscars are significantly better when a song and dance man holds the reins of the show.

Hugh Jackman has opted not to return to the Oscar telecast this year, not wanting to host two years in a row, but he is still interested in returning eventually.

That leaves a major opening in La La Land!

Who will take his place?

We vote Neil Patrick Harris! He's proven himself VERY worthy!

Whom would U like to see host the Oscars next???? Besides Perez, of course! Ha

    NPH has noting to do with movies…this is the Oscars, not the Emmy's. For movie stars, not tv stars.



  10. 10

    Would love to see John Stewart return or Billy Crystal again… If not Neil Patrick Harris would be awesome, the guy is hilarious and can get a great laugh

    I am curious how he has proven himself, because he is gay? For the longest time now I have refrained from saying anything about what I believe to be your double standards. You shove gayness down peoples throats and criticize people who are against gays. People are entitled to their OWN CHOICES. As you are entitled to believe and support gays, the people who believe it is disgusting, immoral or whatever are also entitled to that opinion. If you don't want to hear the other side of it, don't have a public blog, have a "for gays only" blog or something.

    I have sat here watching you belittle others, calling them ugly, fat, and a maltitude of other things. Have you looked in the mirror? You are one of the most unpleasant people to look at. You are fat and extremely ugly. I do not mean that rudely, it is just my observation and opinion.

    I have always been told that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I think this would definitely apply to you Perez…you need to take a step back and look at yourself before you write about someone else.

    Anyhow, I realize this doesn't belong under this storyline, it just so happened to come out here. It is nothing more than my 2 cents really….and was just something I wanted to say for a while.

    I would never ever want you to host the oscars because you don't actually have any talent so being at any type of award show is kind of pointless for you fat boy. As for a host I'm picking Robert Pattinson if you want the best ratings ever due to the tween twilight obession, but if you want someone with substance Colbert or Steve Carill



  13. 13

    perez (or whoever writes your blog for you now) you are sooo biased!! you're only in love with NPH because he's gay!!! it's so obvious



  14. 14

    Re: YourSoHypocritical
    i was just thinking the same!!! perez is so transparent…



  15. 15

    Daniel Craig will be a fantastic show… shirtless even better ;-)



  16. 16

    I think NPH is a fantastic idea. He would be a great host, he has mass appeal, he's versatile. Hope it works.



  17. 17

    Ricky Gervais or Will Ferrell would be amazing.



  18. 18

    YEESS I WANT NEIL, I WANT HIM…..and i also want to see hin at the oscars hehehehe.



  19. 19

    Christian Bale

    Re: YourSoHypocriticalRe: britface77 – NPH has proven himself, A, by being on a hit t.v. show, and B, boosting the emmy ratings by 1.1 million viewers. Since the Oscar Telecast is in fact a T.V. show, he'd be an excellent host, gay or not. Don't be such stupid fuckwads!!

    The best hosting job I've seen was justin timberlake at the Espy's. Better then NPH at the emmy's.



  22. 22

    I would like to see LindsLo as the host. That would make the Oscars a real, entertaining shit-show!



  23. 23

    oh well one queen to replace another
    all good

    Re: kcp1967 – agreed



  25. 25

    "Who" would you like to see host the next Oscars. Not "whom." Embarrassing.



  26. 26

    NPH is perfect for hosting the Oscars!



  27. 27

    NPH is perfect, this guy is gold



  28. 28

    ummm……no!!



  29. 29

    he was forced out of the closet…what a great role model….



  30. 30

    I want Neil Patrick Harris doing the Oscars :) ♥♥♥

    NPH is just Awesome!!



  32. 32

    NPH!!!



  33. 33

    Re: YourSoHypocritical – Uh, I think he just meant that he's proven himself by hosting both the Tony's and the Emmy's and doing a damn fine job of both.



  34. 34

    Mr. Harris did a fine job at hosting the Emmys and the Tony Awards. Perez, si quieres ser un anfitrión de eventos especiales, algún día, espero que estés tomando clases de canto, baile, actuación y sobre todo dicción, mi vida, pues te he escuchado hablar en videos y tu voz es extremadamente ligera al punto de ser desagradable en declaraciones breves. Tienes un acento angelino muy marcado, suena casi completamente femenino. Un maestro de declamación puede ayudarte a corregir estos problemas y sí, algún día tendrás los arrestos para ser anfitrión. Espero que sí.



  35. 35

    Re: neilnriley – Well put. NPH has more than proven himself as a versatile performer and talented host.



  36. 36

    ellen degeneres



  37. 37

    I want NPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  38. 38

    How about another woman… Wanda Sykes, Vanessa Williams, Eva Longoria



  39. 39

    NPH—all the way!!!



  40. 40

    Neil Patrick Harris would be AMAZING…as he is in everything he does. I dont understand what the gay comments have anything to do with it. He has proven himself to be deserving. He is a great host…..Anyways Ellen would be a great choice also.



  41. 41

    Re: YourSoHypocritical

    Hes proven himself by successfully hosting the Emmy's not becuz hes gay. I think u overreacted a little bit.



  42. 42

    Neil is lovely…..cant get enough of him !!

    Wish he was straight, or I was a male, lolol



  43. 43

    anybody of the Twilight CAST? :) or actually I would love to see Ellen DeGeneres!!!



  44. 44

    Re: extreeeem

    Ugh, one of the twilight mopes hosting would be dreadful. They might as well just stick a cardboard cutout up there.



  45. 45

    NPH!



  46. 46

    NEIL WANTS HUGH'S THUMB UP HIS BOO-BOO…………….



  47. 47

  48. 48

    I would love to see George Clooney or Matthew Morrison from Glee!!



  49. 49

    Justin Timberlake!!! I'm so surprised he doesn't host more things…he did such a good job at the espy's a couple of years ago~
