Didn't roast anyone, didn't ridicule any soul, was very humble, entertained everyone, celeberated the movies that came out, celeberated people's hard work, kept it wholesome, class act.

Hugh Jackman deserved an Oscar for hosting the Oscars. 🏆
-
Who is watching at 2024 👇🏻

He's a broadway musical actor. You don't get to perform on a Broadway cast without being really, really good. Showed his talent here.
-
People can't hate Hugh Jackman.. He is extremely lovable
-
And here we have Hugh Jackman's audition for The Greatest Showman
-
10 yrs later and this is still the best opening of any Oscars.
-
This will always be my favorite Oscars opening. Sooo talented beyond words
-
He should win an oscar for best opening number
-
"I am an Australian who played an Australian in a movie called Australia, hosting."😂😂😂😂😂
-
6:00 Hugh almost bursting into laughter while performing made my day 😂

Please bring him back. After the Will Smith/Chris Rock fiasco, he's the only one that can save the Oscars.
-
In Les Miserables, Hugh Jackman, who's an Australian, played a Frenchman nominated.
-
Both are great singers but OMG Anne Hathaway could really sing high notes. Very Beautiful.
-
THIS....this my friends is what Hollywood is supposed to be. Not the egotistical jackasses that represent Hollywood today. The folks like Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Robert Downey Jr, Keanu Reeves, Martin Scorsese, the late Chadwick Boseman .... You know, people who realize that the world doesn't revolve around them, those folks are very very few and far between.
-
He's truly The Greatest Showman.
-
Standing ovation for an opening routine... only the greatest showman can achieve this.
-
Incredible. No stupid ridiculous cringey jokes, no insulting people without regard and just clean jokes and good humor with a super memorized number and choreography. Insane.

Even a decade later I still occasionally sing 'the reader the reader I haven't seen the reader' to myself 🤣
