This just in from the Department of Crazy Rumors: Justin Timberlake is possibly being considered as a host for next year's Oscars. Who knows if it's true — but it's certainly interesting to contemplate. He got a lot of positive buzz off his ESPY award hosting gig this Summer, and I could see him having a good hosting personality.
Then again, the Oscars tend to go for folks with a strong background in comedy, which isn't exactly what Timberlake's best known for — and his movie career, while hardly hopeless, is still a little spotty. So, what do you think? Would Timberlake be a good choice?

Oh, dear Lord, please let this be 100% untrue. I like the guy, love his music, hell I loved NSYNC, but seriously? I cannot STAND it when he talks and tries to be funny. He comes off as trying too hard and because he's from the Disney school of acting (which, honestly, only Ryan Gosling escaped unscathed...but that's another story) it just comes across to me as artificial. BLECH!
1nope - i don't think that he would be a good host. i can see why he would be considered to host maybe the VMAs or something like that - but the oscars? really? i think that it's not the right fit!
2Such an inappropriate choice. No, a thousand times no.
3Oh, how I agree with em113! Please, no.
4As long as no one mentions Southland Tales, he'll be okay.
5Nope.
6JT is really playful and jokey and, as we've seen in the past, playful and jokey doesn't go over well at the Oscars
7One word....eeeeww!
that stage please!
8Hell No!!!!!!!!! I find him extremely irritating and just lame. No, please and thank you.
9let's see, um, JT, who has only been in ONE noteworthy movie, and his ROLE was not noteworthy, hasn't really done any acting other than SNL skits, should be the Oscar host?
Can I have a HELL NO please?
This would be like putting Mariah Carey in as the host. Bring Ellen back. At least she's got some acting experience.
10NOOO! I think he's sorta funny, but he's not an Oscar-worthy host.
11Dear lord, are you kidding me? His head is already so over-inflated that there is no stopping his ego. If he hosts the Oscars and it gets a big audience which it probably will if Heath Ledger is nominated (which he should be-he was awesome in The Dark Knight) Simply amazing, but anyway, old J.T. will take all the credit. Ugh, go away.
12In like 10 years, I would be all for it, but I think he needs a little more life experience to handle something like the Oscars.
13JT is soooo NOT funny and the attempts he makes at trying to BE funny fall flat and leave me feeling embarrassed for him. Just NO!!
14I seem to be one of the few that would love for him to be the Oscar Host.
15Ohhh nononononono! This would be all wrong. I look forward to the Oscars aaaaall year long, please let this be totally untrue. He'd ruin it. I want Ellen back!!
16hes a total douche bag!
17He was FABULOUS on the ESPYs. He had me cracking up!
18He rocked the ESPYs, y'all clearly didn't see it. And Ellen sucked, she played it too safe. Bring back Billy Crystal or Jon Stewart.
19he was great on the espy
