Given how there will probably be a heavy political slant to many of the contenders, both in fiction (_In the Valley of Elah, Grace is Gone, The Kingdom, Lions for Lambs, Charlie Wilson’s War, Redacted_, etc.) and documentaries (_No End in Sight, Ghosts of Abu Ghraib, Sicko, The Devil Came on Horseback_, etc.), it seems an ideal choice.

Cool!

I really enjoyed the job he did last time. I thought he was the best since Billy Crystal.

I won’t mind JS, but I’d rather see Steve Martin given the gig again. He ruled.

The gay cowboy montage from his last stint was quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever seen during an Oscar telecast.

You can’t be angry as the host of the Oscars.

And what worth would a non-angry Lewis Black be?
