Seth MacFarlane… I <3 you.
Well there were others that I truly enjoyed, but honestly Seth made the show for me… behind Tina/Amy and NPH… Seth just skyrocketed up my list of award show hosts that I wouldn’t mind hosting again in any capacity.
And that’s probably because my sense of humor is dark and perverted enough to truly appreciate what he did as host of the Oscars over the weekend. Though the addition of
– Captain Kirk (the William Shatner version)
– Channing Tatum / Charlize Theron dance sequence
– Daniel Radcliffe / Joseph Gordon Levitt / Seth MacFarlane Broadway-ish sequence
– Be Our Guest…
Definitely helped him and the writers (unless he wrote a fair chunk of it himself).
Oscars 2013 – Opening Number With Seth… by IdolxMuzic
Now I had forgotten that Charlize has dance training, but I knew that Channing was more of a hip-hop dancer… you can see the lack of extensions and polish in Channing’s movement. But as a few of my friends (and me) were critiquing his dancing, one thing I did notice was that he actually had pretty strong partnering skills. He was there for Charlize in the lifts, dips, turns, etc… and that is just half the battle in ballroom dancing… but I digress.
Daniel and Joseph singing and dancing with Seth? O.M.G. that was the cutest thing I ever saw, granted Daniel was glancing down at his feet on occasion, but seriously, what’s not to love?
Oh… and did I mention the “Boobs” song? I know that if I were able to I would have been rolling on the floor in laughter.
Though I’ll admit, using Seth as opposed to a “voice from above” announcer voice was a very good call… a very very good call, if only because that meant more joking and ribbing from him and in my point of view and taste that is perfectly alright by me.
So outside of my love affair with Seth what else caught my attention?
