Hugh Jackman Promises Nudity

Hugh Jackman promises an entertaining evening as he hosts the 2009 Academy Awards on Sunday night.

Hugh Jackman has every right to bare his bod at Sunday's Academy Awards. He was, after all, named People's Sexiest Man Alive, last year.

Jackman has revealed his secret for making the evening one to remember. "We are going to do most of it naked and we're going to sing through the whole show," Jackman said, as reported by the Associated Press. The 40-year-old actor joked about singing-acceptance speeches with interpretive dancing in the background.

Jackman has got the looks covered but as for whether or not he will be a good host, Hollywood isn't sure. Reuters reports that there has been talk about Jackman hosting the show because of his lack of a comedic resume. Past hosts have been knee slappers such as Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg and Jon Stewart. But Jackman does have experience; he hosted the Tony's three times and won an Emmy in 2005 for his performance as host.

New York Daily News reports that Jackman will make one big change to the show, shortening it in length. He will not be doing the host's traditional opening monologue, which has garnered some of the show's most memorable moments in the past.
