I don't think much could top Whoopi's costume changes at the Oscar's that year...she didn't even have to open her mouth when she came out dressed in gold as that Victorian queen or whatever it was.
I think Matt Morrison would be a good choice because he's the living example of what Broadway has to offer. Solid singer, dancer, actor who made big. Everyone seemed to enjoy his Gypsy number on the Tony's.
