Christoph Waltz
Suggested By: Flrsi
Past Form: Waltz has been suggested for just about every role since his screen-storming role as Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds. In interviews, he's proved a charming type and while he's never hosted a show, he's a solid actor.
Show Highlights: He could be one of the few Oscar hosts who actually nabs an award the night he's running the podium, so that would be something to see.
Plus we think he should do a backstage chat segment with the winners backstage, all capped by him drinking a delicious glass of milk.
Sample Speech: "Is that the way you say it: "That's a bingo?"
Werner Herzog
Suggested By: johnparkinson
Past Form: Interesting choice this one - occasionally outspoken, often challenging and how many times do you see a director host eat his own shoe for a bet?
Show Highlights: Herzog gets the show rolling with a deconstruction of what the cinematic world defines as "best" and what an "award" truly is.
Then it's on to a drug-crazed Nicolas Cage running across the stage while each winner tries to give their speech. It'd be one to remember, that's for sure…
Sample Speech: "It is my duty because this might be the inner chronicle of what we are, and we have to articulate ourselves. Otherwise we would be cows in the field."
Next: Simon Pegg & Nick Frost, Will Ferrell

“Conduct your Oscar acceptance speech. You have ten seconds to comply.” Surely you're looking for ED-209 then?

Perhaps "Finish the speech, or there will be... trouble".
