Hugh Jackman hosts the 2009 Academy Awards
The Internet is rife today with rumours that The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences is "desperate" to entice Hugh Jackman to host the Oscars again in 2010.

The opening number of the 2009 ceremony showed Hollywood his versatility. He can sing, dance and act — all the while oozing charm. It's that kind if flair that sees him leading the charge for the same spot next year.

The Wolverine star wowed the audience and critics alike as host of the 2009 Oscars. His efforts were impressive enough for him to win the Academy an Emmy for the role.

However, according to New York magazine, those close to Jackman are advising him to turn down the opportunity.
