More Oscar news to feast upon... Judd Apatow, popular comedy film producer, director and screenwriter (Anchorman, Superbad, Knocked Up, The 40-Yea-Old Virgin and many more) has filmed a short for the upcoming ceremony. Hopes are high that the multi-talented Apatow will draw in a younger male audience, as well as help make the event "more hip." Baz Luhrman will also briefly join this year's host, Hugh Jackman, on stage for a set piece. The two recently worked together on the bomb known as Australia. Does anyone else miss David Letterman? (His Uma/Oprah gaffe created quite a stir years ago, but is still a laughable and quotable misstep.) I think Hugh will do a great job - he's got a very engaging personality. But, as I've mentioned, I'm watching whether it's good or not! It will be interesting to see if these industry tricks will draw the bigger numbers they desire. No matter how the Academy show producers bend over backwards, the biggest draw will still be the Angelina Jolie dagger glare!
