He's also up for an Emmy for hosting the 2004 Tonys. He will probably have some type of Wolverine hair and muttonchops since he's filming X-Men 3 right now. It will be interesting to see how he looks!

I'm gonna say it: so? Hasn't he ruined enough award shows?

As the 2004 TONYs show has won the EMMY for this year ( which featured a lot of Hugh moments) and as he has been nominated for the EMMY best host award for the same year, that doesn't sound like he ruined the show.

Can't we just be pleased that a member of the theatre community and who has worked his butt off for Broadway in 2004 ( as well as hosting two other TONYs shows) has been recognized in other mediums by being asked to be a presenter ?

I definitely agree with you, Jo! :)
I'm so happy he'll be there.
