As a recall Grey’s Anatomy received ten nominations for this year’s Emmy, among those was also a very precious award, for Best Supporting Actress. Even more when, three stars from Grey’s Anatomy (Sandra Oh, Katherine Heigl, and Chandra Wilson) were nominated for this category. A surprise indeed not only for us but for them too. The one who took the prize at home was Katherine Heigl thanks to her reprisal of the role of Isobel ‘Izzie’ Stevens. Heigl - who as been in the headlines lately for her engagement to musician Josh Kelly - was wearing a stunning white gown at the ceremony where she also happened to accept her Emmy for Best Supporting Actress.

According to the latest reports, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced recently that Jon Stewart, who also hosted the 78th Academy Awards telecast in 2006, will host the 2008 Oscar Awards ceremony. The big event will air in February and Jon Stewart is thrilled to be again the 2008 Oscar host, which will take place Feb. 24 at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.

Oscar telecast producer Gil Cates told The Associated Press that not only Jon is “a very, very nice guy and very easy to work with,” but also that they “need a host who is not afraid of the unexpected, who can stand out and really work a room and deal with a live show.” As a recall Stewart who also hosted the Grammys in 2001 and 2002, and though the 2007 show, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, drew 40.1 million viewers, compared to the 38.9 million who watched when Stewart hosted the previous year, everybody who has a word to say about the ceremony wants back Jon Stewart.

I’m thrilled to be asked to host the Academy Awards for the second time because, as they say, the third time’s a charm.
