Hugh Jackman will host the 81st Academy Awards® telecast, producer Laurence Mark and executive producer Bill Condon announced today. This will be Jackman's first time center stage at the Oscar show, although he has previously been a presenter.

"Hugh Jackman is a consummate entertainer and an internationally renowned movie star," said Mark and Condon in a joint statement. "He also has style, elegance and a sense of occasion. Hugh is the ideal choice to host a celebration of the year's movies – and to have fun doing it."

A native of Australia, Jackman won the 2004 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance in "The Boy from Oz." He has served as host of the Tony Awards ceremony and won a 2005 Emmy for that assignment.

The 2008 Oscars will be presented on Sunday, February 22, 2009, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and televised live on ABC.

I would have gone with Garry Shandling.

But, hey, I think Hugh Jackman is a good choice.

No complaints.

Billy Crystal will always be my all time favorite host.

I would have preferred Sasha Baron Cohen...but the Boy from Oz will do.

"And yes, I am still a little pissed about the whole Gladiator thing. Better movie than Saving Private Ryan? What fricken crack addict morons were judging those movies that year? IDIOTS!!"

Saving Private Ryan came out in 1998. Gladiator came out in 2000.

.... Idiot.....

Maybe this bodes well for the Dark Knights chance at getting Best Picture... :-D

I did like Jon Stewart though, but why not. Change is good. It's the year of change. I shouldn't be typing while drinking this much.

Well, this is a surprise, I mean, yeah, he's a nice actor and a good looking man, but this is quite awkweird, but maybe there's showman side of him he's going to show. Good for him.
I just hope the show is better than the last one, seriously, the 80th was so boring.
