THERE'S HUGE TALENT IN HUGH (JACKMAN) - THE BEST PART IS THAT HE HAD FUN WHICH MADE HIM FUN TO WATCH

So you can't please everyone. Nothing new there. Another raved about it. I loved Hugh Jackman's parts of the show. So refreshing, fun and entertaining to see someone simply adoring being on stage and being "our show". That is the key, really. A Big Talent that made me fall in love with him. It "translated" to me. It's an award show and unless you take the award part out of it - it isn't going to be other than an award show. Maybe, the LA Times is expecting too much out of a self-congratulating awards show to be something other than it has the roots to be. Perhaps the LA Times critic could be put in charge next year of producing the show.

OSCARS: Baz Luhrmann on Hugh Jackman's hosting performance

At least one early review of Hugh Jackman's Oscar-hosting performance is in, and it's a rave. EW caught up with Baz Luhrmann (Jackman's Australia director and friend) at the Academy Awards on Sunday. The filmmaker said he was thrilled with how Jackman's emceeing turned out: While the show was mostly the vision of coproducer Bill Condon, Luhrmann said he helped Jackman with some of the choreography in the host's dance number with Beyonce. "At this time, his style, elegance, and grace is really resonating," Luhrmann said. "I spent six months with him touring around the world and two years making a movie with him in the desert. I know him almost as well as his family does. What you see is what you get." --Nicole Sperling
