Fallon to Oscars: Not happening
On "Today" today, after Matt Lauer made fun of Olympic athlete names, Jimmy Fallon put the kibosh on any remaining chance of hosting the Oscars in February. "I'm not gonna do the Oscars," he said, somewhat somberly. "It's an honor to be asked by the Academy, but it's not my year."


A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
