I thought they finally put an end to this dance number bullshit. Wonder how many montages and clip packages we'll have to endure. And we wonder why the damn show feels 5 hours long.

I can admire a good dancer and, clearly, Jackman is that. Saw him on Broadway and he is very talented, so it could be good, but I agree. they should just get up there, read out the winners and the damn thing could be done in 2, 3 hours tops.

y'know, i miss allen carr producing the show...i miss rob lowe & snow white, merv griffin, debbie allen's tap dance tribute to pvt. ryan, stars dressing themselves and looking like shit, bernadette peters on the wings of a bi-plane...at least then, when we complained it was for something REALLY WORTH complaning about...
now, the show runs the same length as always and the only thing changed is that outrageous has devolved to mediocre....
So this is indeed going to be a whole show of Rob Lowe dancing with Snow White. And unless that is Nikki's youtube channel, stop giving her credit for disseminating it. Pretty sure your mortal enemy posted it first.

burma -- the problem is that it's not going to be a whole show of rob low dancing with snow while... it appears it's going to be a staid, boring awards show with a couple of satid, boring musical numbers....
you should youtube jackman's job at the tonys...that's what to expect here (just my opinion and i can't believe i just used you tube as a verb)...

I'm with you, MindlessO. This Oscars is going to be the worst since Ellen hosted that featured those naked dancers behind screens.

Yeah I actually watched one of the Tonys he hosted, the year he also won for Boy from Oz. I could totally get behind him hosting as Peter Allen.
