Who I would like to see host the Oscars

NPH (Neil Patrick Harris)
I would love to see NPH host the 83rd Academy Awards show even if I think he would be “suited up” better for the 84th Academy Awards after he has two more movies released next year,  Harold & Kumar and The Smurfs.  The likelihood that he will be offered this year or even take it this year seems very unlikely, but I will always have hope for NPH.

Jon Stewart
Jon is a very funny man and a great show host, but he hasn’t been is a movie in years.  On one hand I believe he would raise the Oscars viewing audience in the 18-35 years range way up, but again he really a TV man.

Robert Downey Jr
I think this would be the perfect fit for him but I also think he might do better with a co-host maybe Jon Favreau; the two funny men up there would be perfect.

I guess I’ll have to wait just like everyone else and hope it turn out to be one of these guys.
