MacFarlane to Host the Oscars Again?

I don't have the answer to that question for you yet! But I can tell you that Seth MacFarlane has officially been asked by the Academy to host the Oscars again next year. Some of you are really excited about this news, but I also know some of you now want to throw a brick. All I can say is this: he is controversial, but he is also downright funny. Even the people who despise Seth the most have definitely laughed during at least a dozen of his jokes. It's barely humanly possible not to. And here's the other thing: the host is only one part of the night. Yes, at the Oscars the host is a bigger part than some of the other award shows, but whoever the host is sets the tone for the night. Even if you cant appreciate all of Seth's humor, you have to admit that the fun and light air of the Oscars was really fun this year. 

I am not against the idea, but I am also not jumping up and down while hoping and praying that he graces the stage again. He was a good host in my opinion. I am a creature of habit, but not when it comes to these kinds of things. I think that award shows need the continued spice up to keep the viewing up and to keep the spirit and integrity of the shows alive, this is especially true when it comes to the Oscars. I would love it if Seth hosts again, but I could also see another funny person filling the role as well. 

We will have to see what the outcome of this situation is. Rumor has it that Seth only has a few more weeks to say whether he is in or out. I am leaning toward him saying he is in, because it's truly the opportunity of a lifetime (even if it is your second time filling the shoes). Who do you want to host next year?
