Jeffrey Wells to Judd Apatow (privately and publicly): Your Pineapple-themed tube-watching short was far and away the best thing on last night's show. By far the funniest, warmest, coolest and most sophisticated. Loved it, man. Seth Rogen and James Franco are kings of the realm. The world belongs to those two, or certainly belonged to them last night. It would be one of the most perfect moves of all time if they were to co-host next year's show...seriously.

The sound on the above YouTube clip is out of synch. Is it just me?

I agree, definitely one of the show's highlights. When Rogen asked if he could turn the trophy into a pipe -- classic stoner shit right there.

Yes, the sound's out of sync, but I figured giving you that link was better than nothing. It's not on ABC.com or Oscars.org yet.

Actually, I think that the duo of Tina Fey and Steve Martin would be a brilliant move as far as hosting the next Oscars. Although Franco/Rogan were very funny as well.

Have to agree with jp_photo -- Fey and Martin were brilliant. I chuckled at the Rogen/Franco section a few times, but viva la Tina & Steve!

Aw nuts - it got pulled already. I really didn't want to go thru my recording from last night and relive the rest of the horror show.

They were funny, but that act over 3.5 hours would wear pretty thin.

Their act after 3-5 minutes gets thin. I mean, are you kidding me? Jeff? I thought they bombed! Turn the trophy into a pipe? That's clever? Rogan is likable, but Franco is dead weight, and the writing is all one joke. I DO NOT get it.

Though i will admit it was better than last years Seth Rogan/Jonah Hill disaster...
