Chris Rock hosting the Oscars: Bad on soooo many levels. Don’t get me wrong, I like Chris Rock. I even once got into a heated debate over who is funnier, Chris Rock or Chris Tucker

An argument for which I might now have to switch sides. Rock was funny when his schtick was still new. Now that it’s been a while, it’s just stale. I don’t think his voice is going to lend itself to the occasion without just grating our ears. He hasn’t been in a quality movie since New Jack City (poor Pookie) and the only thing he has going for him is his crassness (is that even a word?). I think this will turn out to be the lowest rated and received telecast in Academy Awards history.
