Thought: More reasons why the Academy picked Hugh Jackman as host for the Oscars…

Leave a comment

1. “The Dark Knight” will be huge for the Oscars, since Hugh Jackman has experience playing a comic book superhero character, he played Wolverine in the X-Men trilogy and he is also starring in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, a film where Wolverine gets his own movie. The Academy figures this will help hype up “The Dark Knight” for the Oscars if Jackman hosted the show.

2. Hugh Jackman does have award hosting experience, he hosted the Tony Awards a couple of times, an award show for theatre. He hosted the Tony awards around the time when Jackman did the play “The Boy From Oz”.

3. Other than a film actor, Hugh Jackman is a theatre actor as well. He goes back and forth from theatre to films. Jackman has done musicals on stage and he can sing, I imagine the Ocars hired him for the host so he can do a singing segment to open the Oscars and to tell some jokes as well. Will he do X-Men the musical? LOL!!!

BREAKING NEWS: Hugh Jackman is set to host the 81st Annual Oscars…

The Academy announced, the shocking news that “Australia’s” leading star and he received the award for People’s “Sexiest Man Alive”, Hugh Jackman is set to host the 81st Annual Oscar Awards on February 22nd in 2009. He will be taking over comedian Jon Stewart’s spot as host. Jon Stewart host of “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central, hosted the Oscars the last two years. The next two years maybe Jackman’s turn.

How much do you want to bet that Hugh’s going to be making jokes of his “Sexiest Man Alive” award throughout most of the show? He’s probably going to be making fun of himself for entertainment value.

And how much do you want to bet now that Hugh Jackman is host, he will get nominated as Best Male Lead for “Australia” and he will win that award no matter what happens. That will also attract Nicole Kidman to win Best Female Lead for “Australia”, that way it can bring Nicole and Hugh together on stage.

I hope Jackman has what it takes to host an awards show ’cause I don’t think he has before and hope he will be entertaining, and not boring like Jon Stewart was.

Thought: If there was ever a Dark Tower film…Hugh Jackman would be perfect for Roland Deschain…

46 Comments

Most all Stephen King novels have been made into films, everything from TV mini series to major big screen pictures. While Stephen King movies are still being made to this day, one book series I would like to see get made into big theaterical release films is “The Dark Tower” series. Everytime I read the Dark Tower novels or the graphic Marvel comics of the series, I always picture in my head actor Hugh Jackman playing Roland Deschain the Gunslinger. Hugh Jackman is just a perfect fit for the character, in the 7 novels you’ve seen drawings of Roland and through the comics, if you look at the pictures and compare him to Jackman, you can see they both look almost exactly alike.

If there was ever a Dark Tower film series in the future, I can see no one else playing Roland Deschain but Hugh Jackman. The character seems to belong to Jackman just like Wolverine belongs to him. So anyone in Hollywood out there who plans to do the “Dark Tower” films, I would strongly suggest Jackman in the leading role as Roland Deschain. It would work and the first “Dark Tower” film would be a box office smash if Jackman was in it.

The Dark Tower films need to get made soon. The Dark Tower series are so damn popular that the movies would make the Harry Potter films look bad.
