Hugh Jackman's opening number at the Oscars®

[nessquik95]

Great to be an Aussie :D

[thewisefool]

Apparently this was the first time he managed to get through the "The Reader" segment without completely cracking up. You can see him start to crack but he gets through it. Everytime they did it in rehearsal he couldn't get all the words out. Hilarious stuff.

[neversaydie394]

7:27 ...pshh im gonna blow that out of the water in a few years

[Multimedia69]

7:46 of pure entertainment.

[mashun4iks]

ADORABLE!

no matter what the other 207 think..

[mashun4iks]

ADORABLE!

no matter the other 207 think..

[HaydenLynn]

OMG he so wants to laugh when he's singing The Reader. I laughed so hard. 

[nmjean05]

I want Hugh Jackman to host again!!!!

[BeautifulBellaJen]

I'll rent The Reader!



[nicool1987]

He deserved an Oscar for that performance!!!!!

[aintnoloser1]

hugh jackman is great, but annie hathaway is actually a kickass first rate performer...and, in addition, she's definitely beautiful...

[aintnoloser1]

[cageynerd]

Best Opening ever...

[Maverick31031987]

Little dance he did after doing Milk bit was pure genius

[ErikJVideos]

[giveitsomepizazz]

Hugh Jackman is an absolute legend.

[KulVpro]

[gothicguy54]

my god xD

[MissKenzieLoVe]

The Reader part just kills me

[gothdetective28]

not a fan of Jackman's movies... this however :'D

[Wisprsinthedrk]

Ya know, I think this is one of the few times I would actually want to be Nixon.

[Vortex289]

See, this is what we want from actors. This is the least they could do for all their cash. And man, Hugh Jackman is awesome for this. Go Wolverine.

[mizmaria]

I think this is the best opening number by far.

[Marinaka2710]

ladies and gentlemen: Craig's list dancers!!!!

[yolie4u]

he's so damn handsome

[MisterCovek]

If any other man in the world, did what he did there, it would be extremely gay. But somehow, he just manages to make it manly.

[cageynerd]

He was sooooooo good. He needs to host EVERYTHING! If I knew he was hosting I would have watched!

[TehFoxit]

I love the way he laughs at 7:32 :D!

[FountainOFun]

I haven't met a single person that saw The Reader

[skyling94]

Greatest. Opening. Ever.

[ohohoohlala]

It reminds me "This is the Moment" from the musical Jekyll & Hide @ 6:30

[Larilyon1]

At 5:08 she reminds me of Audrey Hepburn (in "my fair lady?)

[KatiKosta]

6:00 HAHAHAH AW Hugh is trying so hard not to burst out laughing while doing "The Reader" :)

[mcheleplove]

Is their anything this man can't do!? He's BLOODY PERFECT!!!!!

[tccballer]

He should have gotten an oscar for Best Opening Number

[psc230]

thumbs up if you haven't seen the reader.

[lauramchalmers]

Man, he can really sing!!

[KatiKosta]

BEST. HOST. EVER. Now, if only my history teacher would play out all the world events like Hugh, I'd probably be passing....

[TheGAMETRAILERWORLD]

you could see james franco in the back at 7:27

[leavetheherbitalone]

[Turbo9987]

That seriously is as complicated a musical, if not the most complicated musical number ive ever seen on this scale at the Oscars.

Absolutely amazing!

And what a voice!

[Larilyon1]

At 5:08 she reminds me of Audrey Hepburn. (in "my fair lady" I think)

[TechieNinja18]

[emmmilyrose]

THIS was the last really amazing Oscar opening.

[BobElovas]

He deserves an Oscar for his hosting !

[dahuterschuter]

Man, Hugh is just a call back to entertainers like Crosby and Sinatra and Astaire.

[LuLuFishie]

I am definitely looking forward to seeing him as Valjean in Les Miserables. :)

[isaiahcruz]

WHY IS YOUR UPPER LIP... SO SWEATYYYYYY?

[theark88indafur]

The Best opening number ever done in my opinion

[NedraDawn]

if only Wolverine saw this.....

[JozefRaczka]

I like the foreshadowing of singing with Anne Hathaway and the audience cutaway focussed on Franco. They knew it would happen. It was written in the stars.

[igeLP]

@JozefRaczka To bad they sucked ass.

[SergiKa25]

Hugh For President!

[MewEvie]

@SergiKa25 He's Australian?

More like Hugh for Prime Mister! Yay!

Although it doesn't have the same ring too it.. Oh well, yay for political correctness!

[AaronfRogers]

[lalala36026]

[xofrancie]
