Yuck! He comes off so cocky and entitled; it’s almost unbearable. I watched him hosting for a couple minutes on the ESPYs, and needless to say he wouldn’t be my first choice for any other awards show.
I seriously doubt the Oscars wants the JT vibe. I can appreciate them wanting to make the ceremony younger, but I don’t think someone who hosts the ESPYs is exactly what they are looking for.
*checks calendar* Nope, not April 1st…
What? Seacrest wasn’t available? Maybe that shark attack was worse than we thought…
He was hilarious at the espys! I don’t like espn or sports, but after I caught a couple of minutes of his performance I recorded it to see it all. His comedic timing is awesome.
Haters all of you, lol. I don’t want him to host the Oscars simply because he’ll get crucified no matter how good (or bad) he does. The Oscars is an awards show that requires everyone checks their sense of humor at the door (Right, Sean Penn?), making the show stuffy, pretentious and boring. And they wonder why no one watches it anymore?!
I love JT, but I really hope he stays away from the Oscars and does what he does best: making music!

I would watch Justin Timberlake on everything at anytime doing anything.
Yeah, I saw that article and laughed. JT is amusing on SNL, and I’m sure he did a fine job at the ESPYs, but he is definitely not Oscar host material. You need a really seasoned, quick-witted comedian for that job. And speaking of: when are they going to get Conan O’Brien to host the Oscars?? He’s been such a brilliant Emmy host, I just don’t get why he hasn’t been asked yet.
Did you watch the ESPY’s? He was FANTASTIC! Really, really funny. Still not sure he’s ready for the Oscars, but he does get credit for doing a great job at the ESPY’s.
Why not? I’m not a huge fan of his music, but I respect what he has done careerwise, and he’s hilarious on SNL. More importantly, though, what does Stephanie Meyer think about this?
Why they would consider JT’s ESPYs hosting before Conan’s Emmys hosting is a mystery to me. I would even put Stephen Colbert ahead of JT at the Oscars hosting line. Seacrest? Meh.
Actually, he was really amazing hosting the ESPYs. He showed a lot of talent and was very natural. But does anyone even watch the Oscars anymore? Thought not – so what’s the big deal?
He’s a charming person and was damn good hosting the ESPYs. Why not give the Oscars a go?
Well, Justin is strangely appealing (even though I am straight and don’t really care for his type of music), so if the Academy is seriously considering him, they might not be too far off base. I’m not saying he should, but I’m not saying they shouldn’t either. It would definitely be interesting with him as host.
Also, I think he might be better suited for the Emmy’s, so maybe there’s hope for that. But, if the Academy decides on Ryan Seacrest, I will not be watching.
