Seth "The Family Guy" MacFarlane...is Hosting the Oscars tomorrow night?
My Ghod but Hollywood is desperate for attention isn't it?
And doubling down on that whole "we need younger hipper viewers" meme that lead tinseltown to it's Waterloo in 2011 with James "The Sedated Zombie" Franco and Anne "The Zombie's Waitress" Hathaway as the event's co-hosts.
Well these "tentpole television events", the Oscars, the Miss America Contest, The MD Labor Day Telethon, institutions that might've predated broadcast television but certainly reached "operational maturity" under the aegis of TV...all have aging audiences, the networks themselves rapidly becoming antiques.
A process like that is historic in scope getting some mediocre cartoonist to host The Oscars can't stop it in any manner shape or form.
Yup and when Hollywood is Desperate for Attention (over and above the norm) they make all sorts of bizarre entertaining mistakes...
