Steve Carell

Suggested By: Jane Glenholmes (Facebook)

Past Form: Carrell has a history of off-the-cuff comedy ability, improv training and a great, charming style. After you've worked on The Daily Show and The Office, you should be able to do anything.

Show Highlights: As with Gervais, if Carell hosts, we'd want to see him work something up between the two of them. Perhaps the pair could have a host-off, and let the audience decide at the end of the night who won?

Plus, given his experience with the Judd Apatow crew, we'd be hoping for actually funny appearances by the likes of Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill.

Sample Speech: "Would I rather be feared or loved? Um... Easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.."

Wall-E

Suggested By: NinjaNh

Past Form: As Ninja suggests, "He's likable, he doesn't drone on for ages and he's got the dance moves." Yes, Pixar's little robot that could certainly has appeal, though we fear his voice capabilities might have to be upgraded lest the entire show become about him and EVE.

Show Highlights: Pixar takes over the Oscars with presenters animated by the team and guest appearances by past characters from their films. Who doesn't want to see Emperor Zurg handing out a special effects award?

Plus, Wall-E can interpret all the Best Song contenders in his own, inimitable style.

Sample Speech: "Wall-E!" (told you it would be a bit Wall-E focused).

Next: Robert Pattinson, Tina Fey
