"This just in: Looks like Seth MacFarlane&amp;#x27;s funny, but controversial, turn as host of the Oscars was a one-time deal. The Family Guy creator tweeted today that he&amp;#x27;s not returning to the gig next year: Traumatized critics exhale: I&amp;#x27;m unable to do the Oscars again. Tried to make it work schedule-wise, but I need sleep.However, I highly--&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;mdash; Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) May 20, 2013 --&amp;amp;gt; recommend the job, as Zadan and Meron are two of the most talented producers in the business. My suggestion for host is Joaquin Phoenix.&amp;amp;mdash; Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) May 20, 2013 Boob jokes aside, I thought MacFarlane was at least successful in spicing up the show&amp;amp;#8212;I mean, at least we were interested in what was happening for once, you know?&amp;amp;#8212;so who should fill his shoes for 2014? (Aside from Joaquin Phoenix, of course.) A couple picks: Neil Patrick Harris We love him on HIMYM. We love him when he hosts the Tony Awards, which he&amp;#x27;s doing again this year. Plus, producers Zadan and Meron proved this year at the Oscars that they have a flair for musicals, so let&amp;#x27;s go ahead and call this as NPH&amp;#x27;s game to lose. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler After their stint hosting the Golden Globes, if they wanted to host every show ever, I wouldn&amp;#x27;t be the one to say no. Jimmy Fallon I&amp;#x27;m not 100 percent sold that Jimmy could carry a show as big as the Oscars yet, but 2014 is going to be his year. Might as well keep it going, and you know his charm will make up for any not-so-great spots in the show. Ellen DeGeneres 1) I just really want to see a woman host the Oscars again. 2) I just really want to see Ellen host the Oscars again. Please, please, please make it happen, Academy. Who would you pick? Any suggestions not on my list?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
