Melbourne, March 02: Although Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman received both criticism and accolades for hosting the Oscar event, American comedian Joan Rivers cannot stop praising him, and thinks that he is the apt choice for hosting the Oscars again.

Joan revealed that Jackman did a tremendous job as the Oscars host.

Joan, 75, revealed that she has a lot of pals in Oscar committee and she would try and influence them to choose the ‘Kate and Leopold’ actor as the host next year.

"I''m not on the committee but I have a lot of friends who are and I''m going to say, ''Are you crazy? Of course he should do it next year''," the Daily Telegraph quoted Joan as saying.

Meanwhile, Joan, who found Hugh to be fantastic, is all set to host the pink carpet event for Foxtel at the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. (ANI)
