Hint: a whole lot of skin.
Do you throw good ones?HUGH JACKMAN:Im Australian.
I think it goes with the citizenship, doesnt it?
Its going to be a celebration of movies.
Were in the world of showbiz, and the Oscars have to be moreshowthan business.
How will you do that?Nudity.
Im planning on getting nude for a lot of it.
No words, nothing, just me having a shower.
Thats also a very Australian thing to do at a party.
The fact that theyve hired me is a sign theyre taking a different route.
Im not a stand-up comedian, and thats generally the way things have gone.
But Ive done some hosting, and I really enjoy it.
Its a great adrenaline rush.
The Oscars are that times 10.
NEXT PAGE: I love the Oscars, but theres no doubt theyre too long.
I dont think theres a person on the planet who doesnt feel that way.
