[LilRippy]

DAMN! I knew Hugh could sing, and I even knew he could dance, but geez! That was awesome xD

I love how he just grabs Anne xD Obviously planned, but still very cute. It's fun to see all these actors and it's like they are all just friends! Makes me want to be an actor, dangit! lol

Wow. He's tan.

[guslingus]

Im an Australian and Love Hugh Jackman but you can never top Billy Crsytal.

[BetaArtemis]

Hugh Jackman definitely deserved that standing ovation at end of his performance! That was brilliant and just priceless!!

I think it should be a requirement for every host to be able to sing and dance.

Hugh really put out one of the best opening number ever!!

[woogiathin]

hugh wanted it to be a little more show a little less biz! And he nailed it! :)

[BetaArtemis]

You can tell that all the stars in the theater really really enjoyed. They all actually look interested and excited! And some of them even seem awestruck and amazed!

[chick5581]

Wow this youtube video is really good. I give this video all stars! haha That's really interesting. This made me feel better. haha

[ebyang1987]

when he pulled anne from the audience i seriously thought if it's staged or not... obviously it was. but still loved it. hugh is so hot! and that accent. love it!

[GrandiaKnight]

So good! I think the new wolverine film should have a musical number it! maybe The first cut is the deepest?

[NickyNani]

Jackman is so handsome.... and talented of course

[bigbadboy2001]

He's an Aussie. What did you expect. We're not all bogans.

[NickyNani]

Jajajaja... I'm Chilean and my English is not that good... I had to look the words Aussie and bogans in Google...Saint Wikipedia helped me xD

[Patrick24031976]

Wolverine is a woozy!!! LOL

[OreoGangTwerp]

Can I just say that real men like Hugh are taking back singing on stage...

[lenegal77]

So talented. So incredibly handsome.

[delig8dor]

I really enjoy HJ as the host.

[CatarinaPotter]

genious!

[violetcloud]

Hugh made this Oscar night watchable. not that many great speeches, kinda boring seeing slumdog millionare take everything, lol. after a while it was like OK. WE GET IT.

Oh man, and the part with "The Reader" *dies* And he almost lost it there too!

[libertineprincess]

hugh is the best!i love him!he is sooo funny!!<3<3

[jesshawthorn]

[morala]

[SarahAllen800]

[sharo8760]

Thanks so much for this! I just LOVED this. Hugh Jackman is amazing. The Reader part is awesome!!

[tikatika88]

[fakdeusernejm]

It was OK ^^. I liked it ;)

[lovelyspringweather]

i dunno i didnt think it was funny. IMO

[diatammy]

LUV Hugh Jackman. He did his thing. It was funny & exciting. Anne Hathaway was funny.lol

[neelyohara2004]

Thank you Hugh!!! I loved every minute.. come back next year!

[glertsgal]

An Oscar actually worth watching. Loved the opening number. Not near as boring as in past years.

[xsweetchilenax]

I agree. It's not often that I find myself laughing as much as I did with preview Oscar ceremonies.

[sheniel001]

Hugh is just so SEXY!!! period

[HARLEYANG8831]

ANNE HATHAWAY HAS A GREAT VOICE !!!

[1234Lipstick5678]

HAHA Awesome!

[pookks]

It was awesome!!! They brought back the magic and the fun!!! it was entertaining, hilarious, touching and all in one show. My favorite Oscars show ever!!

[hanoman78]

nope...not the best opening ever, i still love billy crystal...

[xxburnyoudown]

I don't know what all the haters are on about

This was amusing just like he said it would be

Shows you don't need to spend millions

[rathnurewhite]

BRING BACK BILLY CRYSTAL!!!!

I was looking forward to this but it was awful!!

The Oscars are supposed to be professional that was just blame amtauer!! Hugh's talent was wasted!!

Go watch Billy's 2004 musical opener and see a real opening!!!

What was the bit about the Reader, its up for alot of Oscars and the writers give Jackman a piece where he says he hasn't even seen it!!?? WTF

[jugglesgeese]

Best Opening Ever.

[kiapurity]

Can't beat the cardboard batpod (batman's bike) :P

[pacman5698]

loved the awesome hugh and anne together and nothing against them AT ALL but, wow, thought this opening was just cringe-inducing in its tackiness -- embarassingly bad

[jrsktrd]

well they were on a budget

[carlrodney]

Thats the whole point of the song.

[Goodfella2007]

haha that was awesome!

[swolfy]

nice to see they did something awesome without millions of dollars in costumes and pyrotechnics.

appropriate for our economic state :)

the home-made look was great... jackman did a super job too :)

[MissMarchHare]

Anne's got some Pipes!

[Gibbsaholic16]

He was really great and did so good job.. this was so funny to see tonight...and yeah he can really dance and sing but I think thats because he's originally musical actor and so its his job..... HUGH YOU ARE SO SEXY!

[jovenatheart]

damn i didn't know hugh can dance!!! shit!! and he totally deserves the "sexiest man alive" title...

[greenstripes007]

hahaha IM WOLVERINE!!!!!! lol

[frenchmannie]

the part with The Reader is frkn hilarious!!

[akotoyak]

I LOVE IT!!!!

[fegladooc]

Very good and impressive high G soprano note, Anne. Excellent technique.

Congratulations

[azuresa]

He deserves an Oscar for this!!! :D

[tarynactress]

[onwtwobe]

Hugh is great as ever but never knew Anne could hit such high notes....good stuff!!!

[cookie20jd]

Brilliant show!!!!!!

[burdened666]

Lo mejor de los mejor, que buen "Host"...

[ftthfi]

He nearly lost it during the "Benjamin Button" and almost completely during the "Reader" bit, haha...

[hikari405]

[salashaska223]

No Recession will Silence my Confession

[cookiesncream789]

[jjcbss]

OMG best opening in living memory...

[new91york]

screw wolverine, hugh's real talent is in stage productions. i saw him in Boy From Oz.... and he is one talented man! probably the only host of an awards show not to have made a complete fool of himself. yay for australians!

[Karolyneneves]
