Simon Pegg & Nick Frost

Suggested By: Loutubes

Past Form: Longtime friends and a proven comedy combo with the likes of TV's Spaced and Shaun Of The Dead/Hot Fuzz behind them on the big screen. They're hilarious, real and they could draw a healthily younger audience to the awards show.

Show Highlights: All the nominees (well, the acting ones) are impersonated by Peter Serafinowicz instead of clip reels.

There's also a tribute to George Lucas that turns into the show trial he's had coming his way since Phantom Menace.

Sample Speech: "Well, I wouldn't argue that it wasn't a no-holds-barred, adrenaline-fueled thrill ride. But there is no way you can perpetrate that amount of carnage and mayhem and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork."



Will Ferrell

Suggested By: Sarxos

Past Form: More specifically, Will Ferrell as George W Bush, though as someone else pointed out, Ferrell could easily play a few other characters too. He's done an entire stage show as Bush and is a solid speaker.

Show Highlights: Bush opens the show with some patriotic rhetoric, while castigating the "Hollywood phonies." Then it's time for Who Can Survive Dick Cheney's Shotgun?

For a musical interlude, why not Ron Burgundy and his jazz flute? He could even play it during the Memoriam montage...

Sample Speech: "I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany."

Next: Alfred Hitchcock, Ricky Gervais
