No, Hugh Jackman has not received an early nomination, but he had been asked to host the Oscars in February. Jackman, 40, who stars in this year’s romantic epic, Australia, makes a change from the usual comedian hosts for the event. Oscar nominations for the best movies and performances of 2008 will be announced in January. The awards will be handed out on February 22 by the Academy at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Ratings have been falling for the televised show: the producers hope that Jackman will provide the gift of a boost to viewer figures.
