Betty White Linked to Oscars, Obviously
Oscar-host discussions will get underway next week, said new Oscarcast co-producer Bruce Cohen, who naturally anticipates a popular front-runner you may have heard of. "All options are open. And I'm sure we'll get a big push for Betty White. I can feel it coming." Asked if he and fellow producer Don Mischer would invite White aboard, Cohen replied, "I think she'd be great in some capacity. [Laughs.] I don't know if she'd want to host the whole show."
