BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Academy defends Oscar host Rock:

"Producers of the Academy Award show have said US comedian Chris Rock will not be made to step aside as host despite poking fun at the ceremony."

Of course, I disagree. Wouldn't a known critic of this decresingly relevant popularity contest be the best candidate for announcer? I think what the Oscars need is someone to poke a bit of fun at the entire oscar culture, and maybe they'll wake up and look toward becoming relevant. Less about politics and shiny people, and maybe a bit more about recognizing greatness?

Never happen. But hey, at least the talented Mr Rock will be entertaining.
