Hey, Uma, Oprah: Will Seth MacFarlane Be The Oscars? Next David Letterman?

When the Oscar nominations were announced on Thursday, viewers across the globe were treated to Seth MacFarlane tossing out jokes that were exhausted before they were tried. Every line about how early the nomination announcements were fell flat on the West coast, so I can only imagine how weak they played in time zones that were �already awake. His general onstage demeanor wasn?t doing him any favors either. He appeared shaken and unprepared, and while I doubt the nomination announcement was heavily rehearsed, I?m concerned about the man?s ability to compose himself on a global stage. He's good on video and audio, but how is he live? �(Recall last year's Emmys, where he couldn't even find his mic.)

Perhaps I?m a classicist, but not wearing a tie made MacFarlane look slovenly in a manner unbecoming of the film industry's highest honors. Also, he insisted upon clapping into his mic. He brought on the usually affable Emma Stone (because ?there?s nothing creepier than a guy standing by himself in Hollywood at five in the morning,? apparently), but even she couldn?t inject pre-dawn life into pseudo-jokes about how all of the Supporting Actor nominees were winners.

The banter wasn?t even banter. After introducing her as the star of�Gangster Squad, MacFarlane promptly rescinded the title on account of the film being an ensemble piece. This was a line written poorly with the intention of commenting on the poorly-written line. �Stone looked uncomfortable, which made MacFarlane look exactly like that creepy guy he claimed he didn't want to be.

It didn't end there. Some of the more painful nuggets:

?Those of you who weren?t nominated, you can stop doing interviews where you pretend you had such a great time making the movie.?…
