Jennifer Lawrence should host the Oscars next year, but don't give her a script, just let her be herself in all her randomness and clumsiness!!!

More important than the right host is the right team that will jell together, and not try to one-up one another like MacFarlane and the producers tried to do this year with ridiculous dance numbers. Sam Mendes should produce, Kevin Spacey should host, Aaron Sorkin and his team should write, Rob Marshall should be the choreographer (because that is what he is). Spacey has the chops (singing, dancing, stand-up) to deliver the opening routine, but – more importantly – has the improve skills to deliver impromptu quips throughout the night. He is also a Hollywood insider, so he will likely receive less resentment from the nominees that he satirizes: for instance, someone like Affleck wouldn't try to insult Spacey like he did to MacFarlane the other night. I am not sure whether this team would bring the biggest ratings, but the critics would love it and the team would appeal to the older audiences who care about the Oscars.

They should make it interesting. let the Razzie winners for Best Actor and Best Actress co host together. to add to the excitement, no one would know the hosts until the day before the Oscars. Who wouldn't watch this?

I agree that Kimmel can toe the line of begin edgy, but the real question is: Can he toe the line of end edgy?

No wait, Jason Statham. He could mud-wrestle winners who go on too long and would deliver the most terrifying Karaoke routine this side of Pierce Brosnan.

"to an almost tedious degree?" You really should qualify that as something which you personally found tedious. I loved all the singing and dancing.

Has anyone ever ask Robin Williams to host? This guy can do comedy (high and low brow) and drama. He just needs to not go rambling off a tangent.

Have they ever asked Christopher Walken to host? He appeals to older and younger audiences. The dude is hilarious just being his odd and quirky self and he can easily pull off any singing/dance numbers as he does both. Why hasn't this been done yet? Who doesn't love Walken? And the man is highly respected among fellow actors.

Craig Ferguson.

He's the funniest guy on television, and one of the smartest. He would rock.

Why would you prefer Jimmy Fallon over Kimmel? Kimmel would make a great Oscar host– his Oscar sketches are far funnier than anything that was on the show this year. But Fallon is a dull, witless, boring personality and the only one who laughs at his jokes is him– and he can't stop laughing at them, no matter how devoid of humor they are. Ugh, press the button to vanish Fallon from existence.

I do like the ideas of Clooney and Louis C.K. Clooney would recapture some of the honor/respect of the entertainment industry that's been missing, while also having a sense of humor about it. As would Kimmel. It's obvious with both of those guys that they really love Hollywood.

And I"d be happy to have Chris Rock back or have Gervais do it. Guys like Louis C.K., Rock, and Gervais can be offensive at times– but they're also hilarious. And if you're going to do something offensive, it better be outweighed by the funny. MacFarlane somehow managed the hat trick of simultaneously being offensive, unfunny, and boring.

JGL is an example of the BIG problem. Obviously he was doing a very poor version (in comparison) to Donald O'Connor's bit in SINGING IN THE RAIN (who did it without slanting walls). JGL is not a dancer so he needed "training wheels," and not a singer so he was out of breath and not very good when he had breath, and not a comedian so he wasn't very funny. And that's the big problem, what passes for talent today is dirty jokes that make us giggle, anything else just reminds of us the talent that used to be but no longer exists. So bring back the Family Guy guy or randomly select anyone from SNL, it doesn't really matter.
