Seth MacFarlane.
Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane is hosting the Oscars this year. As someone who is known for pushing the envelope when it comes to 'wrong' humour, MacFarlane is a bit of a gutsy choice as host. Hollywood, prepare to be offended.
In the lead up to the event, the ABC network in the US has released a few promo spots staring MacFarlane, who promises that this year's ceremony will "celebrate all of your favourite movies".
In this one he is a guest at the Bates Motel, made famous by Hitchcock's Psycho movie:

And in this, he claims to be Daniel Day-Lewis, pretending be to be Family Guy creator.
The Academy Awards take place in Hollywood on February 24.
