[book_worm]

I was surprised as I had no idea he was such a talented singer and dancer.

1. He was absolutely incredible in the London Revival of Oklahoma

which is filmed for DVD.

[fishwax]

2. I thought he was a really odd choice

when I heard he was hosting, I thought it was an odd choice. But he won me over. I thought he did a really good job.

3. One singing bit was enough

4. 10 - Loved him!

[vanderBeth]

5. I was planning on being disappointed and thought he was an odd choice, but he was great!

I knew he did broadway and thought they would do that tonight, and I wasn't sure it was go so well. But I was wrong. It worked great! He wasn't half bad at telling a funny either!

[gblady]

6. He did....

a great job.
Liked the format and the closeness of the audience.

[LostinVA]

7. He's done alot of musical theatre and has been the host of the Tonys

I thought he was funny and charming. B+/A-.

And, who knew Anne Hathaway had such a good voice!

[TheDebbieDee]

10. I had no clue about Jackman and his musical theater

experience. What depth!

And here, I thought he was only a hotbody! Eyecandy!

[LostinVA]

12. And, by all accounts, a very nice guy

15. Ella Enchanted.

8. Hugh Jackman was the only reason I watched and I am glad I did n/t

[Janice325]

9. I thought he did a great job.

I hope he hosts again next year. The guy really worked his ass off, quite the showman.

I'd love to see him in a Broadway musical.

[Booster]

11. I give him a 9. I thought he was great but not the best ever.

13. they wasted his talents.

If he's such a great singer and dancer, why did they do those stupid mashups?

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN THEATER has taken over. :cry:

[Chovexani]

14. I agree that his talents were sorely wasted

And I've known what a talented performer he is, he's of the kind they just don't make anymore, and I knew that when I saw him in Boy from Oz.

They really need to just fire everyone involved with this show and start over again. Starting with the writers.

17. He was HUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

[leftyclimber]

18. He didn't have enough to do.

I realize they were trying to speed things up a bit but the role they assigned him didn't seem terribly host-y. They didn't use him much and he ended up being a colossal waste of talent.

[BigBearJohn]

19. I loved him. Absolutely loved him. I especially loved how confident he was.

[brettdale]

20. okay, but hey an aussie making a new zealand joke

That is not on!!!!

:)

[Control-Z]

21. I think he was great.

The entire show was more watchable than it's been since Billy Crystal was host. I thought the staging, seating and presentations were actually better.

[Number23]

22. Didn't watch the Oscars but Jackman is one mighty fine-looking man

Yes, indeedy... :)
