Stewart to host Oscarcast

So says the NYT. Now we must put up with dim bulbs like Nikki Finke slagging Stewart every few weeks or so until February 24!

Get ready to hear Stewart blamed for the poor ratings. (Of course, they’ll compare him to Billy Crystal. And they’ll bemoan the fact that Crystal drew 55 million in 1998 and Stewart attracted only 38.9 million. Of course, they’ll disregard that Crystal had “Titanic” to give Oscars to. Stewart had “Brokeback Mountain.”)

Six more months of hype. Strap in.
