Hugh Jackman makes the Oscars a must see/record/masturbate to
NAKED OSCARS: Oscar host Hugh Jackman plans to reveal more than most at Sunday's awards ceremony.



"I haven't told anyone this, but we are going to do most of it naked and we're going to sing through the whole show," the affable actor joked during an interview backstage at the Kodak Theatre. "In fact, all the acceptance speeches are going to be sung. There will be some interpretive dance behind them, and I really think it will be beautiful and touching."

But don't expect People magazine's "sexiest man alive" to show everything.

"There will be a strategic leaf placed here or there," he said. "We don't want to be distasteful or anything. This is a raw night. This is the Oscars. Raw emotion, that's the quality we're going for."

"If I hadn't done the Tonys, I think I'd be a lot more nervous than I am," he said.


FATHERLY ADVICE: Veteran actor James Cromwell says he warned Josh Brolin not to be nervous at Sunday's Oscars ceremony. Brolin, who played Cromwell's on-screen son in "W," is nominated for a supporting actor Oscar for his role in "Milk."

"I know that when you get in that room with all those people, your peers support you like at no other time," said Cromwell, who was nominated for a supporting actor Oscar for his role in 1995's "Babe."

"Everybody is delightful with each other. When they cut to commercial, everybody gets up and talks to each other and reassures each other," he said Thursday on the green carpet at the Global Green USA Pre-Oscar Party.

Cromwell said Brolin doesn't expect to take home the trophy Sunday."Josh knows he's not going to win because Heath's going to win," Cromwell said. "We all know that. It's too bad Heath (Ledger) can't be there. We're all depressed about that, but at least Josh can go and enjoy it, and it'll make a big difference in his career."
