Hugh Jackman: Academy Awards TOMORROW!

The Oscars are just a day away and the buzz is continuing to build!

“I know from watching in the past that the sport isn’t how great the host is doing,” Oscars host Hugh Jackman tells LA Times with a laugh, “it’s that they’re dying, that there are crickets chirping when they make a joke, that they’re horrible. But the beauty of being there is I’m going to be in a room filled with people far more nervous than I am. They’re all nominated, and they don’t know what’s going to happen. And I assure you, the camera will be on Brad [Pitt] more than it will be on me.”

As reported earlier, performers for the night also include: Anne Hathaway, Beyoncé, Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens and Amanda Seyfried & Dominic Cooper.

I was referring to BI not necessarily gay. Who cares, there’s nothing wrong with being bi or gay! They need to own up to it.

oh PUHLEEZE!! Brad Pitt is not even in the same league as Hugh Jackman. Jackman was just being polite. Brad Pitt is lookin a little long in the tooth now….guess Angie is sucking the life out of him.

to cari:

I have to agree. Brad is a great looking guy but he looked better before the zillion kids and Angie. He just doesn’t look happy in photos anymore. This post has nothing to do with the Angie vs Jennifer drama since I don’t like either’s acting abilities, I’m saying this as a fact on looks alone then vs now.
