2014 Oscars: Seth MacFarlane Asked to Host Again

Mike Sampson — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:12:30 +0000

At this year Oscars, Seth MacFarlane caused quite a controversy as he hosted the ceremony with a number of risque bits and jokes (most notably the "We Saw Your Boobs" song from the opening monologues) but that was exactly what Oscar producers hoped MacFarlane would bring to the normally staid production. The 'Family Guy' creator previously said he has no interest in returning, the producers seemed to have liked the controversy (and the ratings that went with it) and MacFarlane has officially been invited to return to host the 2014 Oscars.

2013 Oscars: Seth MacFarlane Says There is "No Way" He'll Host Again

Jacob Hall — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:04:19 +0000

There's been no shortage of controversy following the 2013 Oscars, most of it dealing with host Seth MacFarlane's particular brand of comedy, which is either hilariously crude or mean-spirited and misogynistic, depending on who you ask. But with ratings higher than last year's ceremony (40.3 million people tuned in to watch 'Argo' win Best Picture), you'd wonder if the Academy would decide that further outcry was worth it and ask the 'Family Guy' creator back for a second time. However, MacFarlane himself preemptively answered that question on Twitter.

'Boobs' Song at the Oscars Crosses the Line

Robert and Erin — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 12:52:17 +0000

Seth MacFarlane was decent, not exceptional. The opening was way too long…..15 minutes or so. Some of the jokes were very funny. Some were just mean and I don’t like mean. What I really don’t like is silly jokes about women. And that’s what you got with one of the opening numbers. I can imagine [...]
