Seth MacFarlane to give Oscars an edge

By Tribute on February 22, 2013 | 3 Comments


When asked by ET what the tone of the Academy Awards ceremony will be this year, host Seth MacFarlane answered, “I think everybody’s fair game.” He also shared a laugh about how he “foolishly said yes” after receiving a call offering him the gig, adding, “The whole point of their bringing me on was to give it a little bit more of an edge… but it is a balance, because you have a room full of people who are at the top of their game — they’re successful, they’re being honored, they’re attractive — and yet it’s also the group with the thinnest skin on the planet.” Performers announced for this year’s Oscars include Jennifer Hudson, Hugh Jackman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Amanda Seyfried, Barbra Streisand and Adele. Kristen Chenoweth will be doing a closing number with MacFarlane, which has been described as a “can’t miss moment” by the producers. The Academy Awards air this Sunday, February 24 at 7 p.m. ET on ABC. ~ E. Guevarra

    I must watch this. I’m sure he won’t talk like he did in the Roast of Charlie Sheen (amazing sick show), but he sings and is quick witted, I would love it if this first forey can equate to a Bob Hope type scenario where he enjoys it and has a long run at it.
