This Sunday: 'High School Musical,' starring Wolverine

In a previous post, we mentioned that Hugh Jackman is hosting the Oscars this Sunday, and ruminated how particularly awesome it would be if he hosted the show as Wolverine.

(Don't you think it would spice up the telecast when he flung out his adamantium claws and snarled at the winners for Best Costume Design? We do.)

Anyway, for those of you who don't know - or aren't familiar with the wonders of Wikipedia - Hugh Jackman actually has quite the theatrical resume. The man can sing and dance like nobody's business.

We predicted an opening number filled with "jazz hands" - which, again, could be enhance by the flinging of the claws...just a thought - and it looks like we were correct.

Jackman will perform some sort of musical number and joining him will be Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.

And Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper from Mamma Mia!

And Beyonce.

And us.

Just kidding about that last one, but why not? As long as this is turning into the kitchen sink musical version of the Academy Awards, give us a shot?

Our performance skills are definitely up to par. We once won a karaoke contest in a dive bar by belting out "I Want it That Way" by the Backstreet Boys. (Winning was great, but frankly it was just an honor to be nominated.)

Maybe we'll all get lucky and they'll turn it into Wolverine! The Musical!.

Editor's Note: We'll be live blogging during the Oscars telecast on Sunday. So, if you're watching with your computers handy, feel free to check out what we think of this holy Hollywood shin-dig.
