If one should always strike while the iron’s hot, there will never be a more opportune time for Tina Fey to host the Oscars. Though her 30 Rock character Liz Lemon would freak out about the prospect of having the eyes on the world upon her, the real-life Fey would have more than enough poise, wit and charm to do the job, especially if the hilarious book Bossypants is given away in all the goody bags. Two other major plus points: not nearly enough women get to host the show — in our generation, apart from Whoopi Goldberg and Ellen Degeneres, no female has carried the show by herself — and think of all the awesome cameos (Alec Baldwin! Matt Damon! Oprah!). If Fey gets the gig, we implore her to open with this Lemon-ism: “There ain’t no party like a Liz Lemon party ’cause a Liz Lemon party is mandatory!”
