An official trailer has been released for next month’s Academy Awards, and despite seeming a mite too pleased with itself, we must admit the final “reveal” did make us chuckle.
The spoof trailer shows William Fichtner dispatching Megan Fox and Josh Duhamel on a mission to track down a legendary figure known only as “The Host”. On the way they hook up with Robin Williams and, er, Vinnie Jones, before meeting their man.
Check out the new trailer below…
You see, this is why Billy Crystal is always a solid option to host the Oscars – there’s just something inherently warm and likeable about him, which is a refreshing antidote to the naked ambition and emotional incontinence on display elsewhere at the ceremony.
And it’s always a pleasure to see William Fichtner hamming it up on screen. We can take or leave Mr. Jones, mind…
The 84th Annual Academy Awards will be held on 26 February, with nominations arriving on 24 January. Get those betting slips ready…

The Stath would have been a better choice than knuckle-headed book dodger Jones...

It is official. Megan Fox no longer has a career. Even in this thing she only had two lines!

Wasn't much of a journey, only took a minute, if only LOTR went that quick, ha.

Quite disappointed. Was hoping the Muppets would've hosted, make the Oscars worth watching!

I dont get it? On the up side, Billy Crystal is a good choice. Plonking pretty young up-and-comers up front, gagging for an oscar themseves (Hathaway & Franco) is just a mistake, so Crystal should be good change. Not that I watch the Oscars.
