It's never to early to think about the Academy Awards, as they've already confirmed that Jon Stewart has been invited back as the 2008 Oscar host. Stewart first hosted in 2006 to mixed but generally positive reviews.
"I am thrilled to be asked to host the Academy Awards for the second time because, as they say, the third time's a charm." - Jon Stewart
You can refresh your memory of Jon Stewart's first time as Oscar host at the2scoops Oscar Wrap 2006.
Amusing side note: The Emmy's are on Fox Television this year. Fox chose Ryan Seacrest over Hugh Laurie as host. The reason? Apparently they thought Hugh Laurie speaking and acting like his charmingly witty British self, as opposed to the difficult cantankerous American character he plays on House, would distract the audience. Basically, his British accent would freak out America.

I would have LOVED to have seen HUGH LAURIE host the Emmys. I ADORE him.
But I like Ryan and I think he will do a good job as long as he stays away from corny jokes or inside jokes.
GOOD LUCK TO HUGH!!!
FINGERS CROSSED!!!
You wouldn't believe how many people pick up the Jeeves & Wooster or old Blackadder DVDs at the library and say, "Hey - isn't that the guy who plays House?" Whereas the first time I saw House, I said, "Hey, isn't that the actor who played Wooster?"
