This morning's news that Australia star/Sexuality League trade-rumor subject Hugh Jackman might host this year's Oscars was not just some pleasant waking dream! This just in from Variety:

"Hugh Jackman is a consummate entertainer and an internationally renowned movie star," said producers [Laurence] Mark and [Bill] Condon in a joint statement. "He also has style, elegance and a sense of occasion. Hugh is the ideal choice to host a celebration of the year's movies and to have fun doing it."

Suddenly we're really hoping The Dark Knight gets a Best Picture nomination. We don't know why—we just think something really bat-fabulous could be in store.
