Neil Patrick Harris is a savvy Broadway veteran, who has hosted the Tony Awards four times, and the Emmy's twice.

He's played Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, was Douglas "Doogie Howser" is Doogie Howser M.D, charmed people as Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Met Your Mother, and portrayed Desi Collins in Gone Girl, a heart wrenching tale that is already receiving Oscar buzz.

So, the question becomes, is he a good host for the Academy Awards? I'll tell you this much, it's definitely better than Billy Crystal hosting for the 10th time.

I've never understood why the Oscars demand G-rated watered down humor as part of a celebration of the best R-rated movies of the year.

Because they're on Network Television.

Fabulous insight, NYE. I never thought if it like that before.

I assume that's sarcasm.
