Hugh Jackman to Host Oscars

It was announced today that Hugh Jackman will host the 81st annual Academy Awards ceremony on February 22, 2009. It's a bit of a left-field choice, considering most recent hosts have a background in either stand-up or sketch comedy. However, if his charismatic turns hosting the Tonys in 2003 & 2004 are any indication, I don't think viewers have much to worry about. Though one does wonder, does he plan on singing?

fingers crossed...and if he would dance a little bit, that might be nice too.
