2014 Oscars: Seth MacFarlane Asked to Host Again

Mike Sampson — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:12:30 +0000

At this year Oscars, Seth MacFarlane caused quite a controversy as he hosted the ceremony with a number of risque bits and jokes (most notably the "We Saw Your Boobs" song from the opening monologues) but that was exactly what Oscar producers hoped MacFarlane would bring to the normally staid production. The 'Family Guy' creator previously said he has no interest in returning, the producers seemed to have liked the controversy (and the ratings that went with it) and MacFarlane has officially been invited to return to host the 2014 Oscars.

It’s my favorite part of the show…the fashion. Although, I though the Oscars were much more entertaining this year, and that Seth MaFarlane did a great job. Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain, and Charlize Theron made my top 3 for best dressed. I wonder, “what were they thinking?” when I see Ann Hathaway, Jane Fonda and [...]

I forgot, they decided to change the name from the Academy Awards to the Oscars. I do remember hearing about the ‘Oscar curse,’ which is winning an Oscar, and then having your career go kaput.

I saw it on the red carpet last night at the Oscars. J Lo’s nipple. Is her name still J Lo? Anyway, I find it hard to believe that NO ONE would tell her that her nipple was showing. In that dress, that’s where your eyes go first. Someone had to know! Her stylist is [...]

There weren't a whole lot of surprises at the 83rd Academy Awards -- as expected, "The King's Speech" took the big prize as Best Picture. The film about King George VI overcoming his stutter also garnered a Best Actor statue for Colin Firth and a Best Director win for Tom Hooper.
