Jon Stewart to host the Oscars...

Hello and good morning everyone! I just got home after dropping my daughter off at school and of course picking up some coffee, when I saw this article about Jon Stewart hosting this years Oscars. I LOVE Jon Stewart, he is funny, witty, smart, and attractive, I can't wait to see if he does a good job. Although scratch that, I don't like to actually watch the Oscars, I just like to see what everyone is wearing. Yeah what can I say I guess I am just superficial like that (wink*wink*). Below I cut and pasted the "Official" article blurb. :-) "The word is that the job of hosting the 78th Academy Awards will go to Jon Stewart, the Emmy-winning writer-host of "The Daily Show" and a past host of the Grammy Awards in 2001 and 2002.

For the past couple months, Oscar producer Gil Cates' search for an emcee has sometimes seemed to belong under the "Daily Show"-style heading "Indecision 2005." Last year's host, Chris Rock, was not asked back; eight-time host Billy Crystal said he declined an invitation because of his busy schedule. Published reports claimed that negotiations were underway with Whoopi Goldberg and Steve Martin, though those were never confirmed.

With the often barbed political humor of his nightly show on Comedy Central, Stewart seems to be a perfect fit for the Oscars in a year that saw the release of a large number of acclaimed movies with political and social leanings, including "Brokeback Mountain," "Good Night, and Good Luck, " "Crash," "Munich," "Syriana" and "The Constant Gardener."

p.s. Sorry it is taking so long for this mornings post, but blogger is giving me a hard time uploading photos and of course you can not NOT have photos. :0)
