This year, the ratings for the Academy Awards went up by 11 percent, even though Seth MacFarlane's success as a host has been pretty hotly debated. But even if the Academy does want him to come back again, he's not coming willingly.
MacFarlane successfully brought in the younger audience that he was hired to attract, but his jokes were criticized by many for being inappropriate and sexist. When a fan asked the "Family Guy" and "Ted" creator whether he'd consider hosting again, he simply replied "No way. Lotta fun to have done it, though."

So... who should host next? Tina Fey and Amy Poehler went down a storm at the Golden Globes -- and don't forget Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell's hilarious double act, even though it failed to make Tommy Lee Jones laugh.
Maybe it's time to let Ricky Gervais come back: he was great, if controversial, at the Golden Globes. Or perhaps it's time for another late night host to have a go; Jimmy Kimmel's Oscar-themed skits are clearly his way of dropping a hint. Or what about giving an old host another go, such as Chris Rock? Who do you think should host the Oscars next year?

Or Johnny Weir.
Or Jimmy Fallon.
Or Alan Cumming.
2. Why can't Carrot Top host?
First, I nominate William Shatner to host next year. His Captain Kirk bit was funnier than anything Seth MacFarlane came up with.
Second, isn't MacFarlane saying he won't host again kind of like Mike Dukakis saying he won't run for President again? Did anyone ask him to?
- Clint Eastwood commenting on the Republican National Convention.
