Hugh Jackman to Host Oscars

He sings, dances, acts on stage and screen, and he’s [People Magazine's] “Sexiest Man Alive….”

Hugh Jackman was announced Friday as the host of the 81st Academy Awards, a marked departure from the academy’s standard of big-name comedians. Jon Stewart who hosted in 2008 and 2006, and Ellen DeGeneres, the 2007 host, were the latest in a line of funny emcees since 1990. Billy Crystal did it eight times, Whoopi Goldberg took on four, Steve Martin did it twice and David Letterman and Chris Rock each had a shot.

As the parade of A-list comedians continued, ratings were in steady decline. But with new producers, a new director, new set designer and even a new music director, the academy has been hinting for months at an all-new look and feel for this year’s Oscars telecast on Feb. 22.

I kinda miss Donna Cruz. I love her music. During the height of Vina Morales-Donna Cruz rivalry-brouhaha, I was soooo on Donna's army. Front line pa! (But I like Vina as a performer now.) Tangena, ang jologs ko. Haha. Here are some of her songs that I grew up listening to. Ikaw Lang ang Mahal Isang Tanong, Isang Sagot ...
