"But, but...Seth promised!!!", were my thoughts as I read this article.
On Sunday night's Academy Awards (or Oscars for the newfound lazy) host, Seth McFarlene, made a reference that Amy Pohler and Tina Fey would be hosting next year's show. This was great, and highly anticipated considering the amazing job both comediennes did while hosting this years Golden Globes. It seemed like there was no doubt the duo would make an appearance next year, but according to The Huffington Post, Tina Fey has turned down the offer. She said it would be "too hard", especially for a woman who would probably have to "spend months trying on dresses" alone.
Although, I was a bit upset to hear that one of my favorite comedy writers would not host the biggest awards event of the year, I can't blame her for backing out. Those urchins at the E! network would probably tear her apart over stupid shit like her dress and hair (men have it so easy: tux and hair = done). While everyone loved the Globes and Fey and Pohler were excellent and hilarious hosts, the event seemed more relaxed and friendly than the Oscars. The Oscars is a huge event and I can imagine the pressure of not wanting to screw it up. No matter what, there will always be a critic. Personally, I think Tina Fey could pull it off, along with her BFF Amy. Heck, at least we all know they would be better than that Anne Hathaway/James Franco thing (seriously, freaking James Franco?), but it's her choice. No need to put yourself through unnecessary stress just for publicity and face time.
I guess Billy Crystal will do...
