Rate Hugh Jackman as Oscar host |
|
I was surprised as I had no idea he was such a talented singer and dancer.

2. I thought he was a really odd choice |
|
when I heard he was hosting, I thought it was an odd choice. But he won me over. I thought he did a really good job.

5. I was planning on being disappointed and thought he was an odd choice, but he was great! |
|
I knew he did broadway and thought they would do that tonight, and I wasn't sure it was go so well. But I was wrong. It worked great! He wasn't half bad at telling a funny either!

9. I thought he did a great job. |
|
I hope he hosts again next year. The guy really worked his ass off, quite the showman.
I'd love to see him in a Broadway musical.

13. they wasted his talents. |
|
If he's such a great singer and dancer, why did they do those stupid mashups?
SHORT ATTENTION SPAN THEATER has taken over. :cry:

14. I agree that his talents were sorely wasted |
|
And I've known what a talented performer he is, he's of the kind they just don't make anymore, and I knew that when I saw him in Boy from Oz.
They really need to just fire everyone involved with this show and start over again. Starting with the writers.

18. He didn't have enough to do. |
|
I realize they were trying to speed things up a bit but the role they assigned him didn't seem terribly host-y. They didn't use him much and he ended up being a colossal waste of talent.

21. I think he was great. |
|
The entire show was more watchable than it's been since Billy Crystal was host. I thought the staging, seating and presentations were actually better.
