Celeb of the Week:
Seth MacFarlane was a risky, but memorable choice as host for the 2013 Academy Awards. The “Family Guy” creator sang, danced and dished out insults throughout the ceremony. His witty remarks kept the nominees and audience members on the edge of their seats as no one knew who’d be the target of his next joke. MacFarlane took the stage for a dance performance alongside Channing Tatum and Charlize Theron, followed by a rendition of “High Hopes” with Daniel Radcliffe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Although many hold different opinions as to whether McFarlane was a distasteful host or a comedic genius, taking on the challenge of hosting the 85th annual Academy Awards deserves some recognition.
