Only a day after Oscar’s producer Brett Ratner resigned from this February’s telecast, Eddie Murphy quits his duties as host of the show leaving speculation about who will step up to the plate.

While the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are running around with their collective heads up their rear-ends contemplating their next alternative, one blogger came up with an interesting idea about who should get hosting duties this year…The Muppets!

Below are the seven reasons given that The Muppets would make the perfect choice to emcee the event.

1. The Oscars are boring. Don’t get me wrong, I love them, but there are times where we all just want to yell GET ON WITH IT. Enter Statler and Waldorf. If the show starts to lag, they can cut to these two up in the balcony making snarky remarks. Suddenly, the show will have energy again.

2. It’s timely. With the upcoming release of the Jason Segel-penned film, the Muppets are sure to have a resurgence in fans. Said fans will tune in to the ceremony. Ratings!

3. The new film features Oscar winners/nominees. The up-coming film co-stars Amy Adams and Chris Cooper. Cooper won Best Supporting Actor for 2002′s Adaptation. Amy Adams is a three-time nominee. There’s your legitimacy right there.

4. There are SO MANY great characters in the Muppets, so you’ll have lots of variety.

5. Miss Piggy can change her costume 15 times. Miss Piggy will look better in a million costume changes than Anne Hathaway ever could.

6. The Muppets have already done some great Oscar-bait movie parodies. The Pig With The Froggy Tattoo, anyone?

7. They can sing all the nominated songs. Beaker and Animal are talented musicians.

You know, I think this guy might be on to something… I mean, can you imagine Waldorf and Statler on that balcony heckling the presenters? Telling the winners to shut their traps when their speeches run too long?

I think that would be AWESOME! Who’s with me? Cast your vote yay or nay for the Muppets hosting this year’s Oscars in the comments section!
