Duh. Yes.

But that's the question CNN asks in this online column thingy, now that the strike from the Writer's Guild of America is behind us and the show will go on (and I will go back to blogging about them.) If you ask me, it's not that the Oscars don't matter, it's that the show needs a jolt to appeal to--ohIdon'tknow--the young voters viewers. The idea to bring Jon Stewart back as host is certainly a step in the right direction, but it's misguided. He doesn't make the show younger. He just makes it more awkward. It's like having your little cousin give an important toast at the wedding. He's all wrong for it.

That's why I'm posting this little For Your Consideration to the Academy: Next year, hire not one but two Oscar hosts. Their names should be Julia Roberts and George Clooney. Wouldn't you watch that?
