At the Emmy’s Ricky Gervais was his normal charming – kind of assie self – and we all loved it. I even loved his movie “Ghost Town”. Gervais is one of my favorites – so when I found out he was asked to host The Oscars – I thought that was awesome.

Then I found out he declined. And I was sad.

Ultimately it’s probably a good idea for him to skip it. I couldn’t imagine seeing him do one of those wacky Billy Crystal opening numbers or anything like that. Still – I’d like to see him present.
