If you were anticipating the return of Seth MacFarlane as host for the Academy Awards, I’m afraid I have some bad news.

MacFarlane will not reprise the host position at the Oscars this March.  On Monday, The Family Guy creator broke the news via Twitter, tweeting, “Traumatized critics exhale: I’m unable to do the Oscars again.

MacFarlane was referring to Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, who produced the show in February and will again do the job in 2014. | Full Story
