Actor Hugh Jackman (Wolverine-"X-Men", and People Magazines' 2008 Sexiest Man Alive) will host the annual 81st Academy Awards show this year where they hand out the Oscars for best performances, etc.
Jackman has previously won an Emmy in 2005 for hosting The Tony Awards show the year before.
Jackman's star really seems to be shining and taking off again. He just recently starred with Nicole Kidman in the movie "Australia". I wonder if he has plans to do any more "X-Men" movies or such?????
