Should Andy Samberg host the Academy Awards?

So it looks like Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are set to host The Oscars this year. But who should have hosted? We can think of five solid alternatives.

Justin Timberlake: Last year, Hugh Jackman earned raves for bringing a sense of good old-fashioned showmanship to the role of Oscar host. If the Academy wants to continue in this vein, they should turn to Timberlake, a fellow jack-of-all-trades entertainer. JT's attempt at a movie career may have flopped, but the Emmy he earned last year for hosting SNL proves he's got enough charisma to keep people entertained through even the longest of television shows.



Andy Samberg: Justin may seem like the perfect choice -- until you remember that Andy Samberg was the brains behind most of JT's most memorable SNL moments. Last summer he also presided over the only watchable MTV Movie Awards show this decade. If the Academy wants to attract a younger generation to the Oscars, this is their guy.
