I thought Ellen was a bland host but, more importantly, her year was the awful year where they gave out the technical awards in the aisles because goodness knows that the crew of a film aren't important enough to waste valuable air time with them taking 30 seconds to walk on-stage.
I think having two hosts makes it a bit more entertaining. Elsewhere, I've seen Tina Fey and Steve Carell suggested, but I think Tina and Alec would be more amazing. They could pair Hugh and Anne together.

Don't Tina and Alec hate each other? Or did I completely make that up?

After seeing her in the live webcast of "8" last night, Dear Hollywood, please, PLEASE can we have more Jamie Lee Curtis? She's luminous, tremendously talented and a riveting presence onscreen. I know it's too much to ask that she be conscripted into her husband's troupe -- though that would be awesome -- but give this gorgeous woman material commensurate with her talent!

The thing of it is, I have heard nothing but good things about her, and nothing but terrible things about her husband. But yes, co-signed. She's gorgeous--really funny, and just seems to have kept a good head on her shoulders despite having grown up in Hollywood.

I hadn't heard anything bad about Christopher Guest, but I could see how he might be prickly. Details about him, please -- I need some mindless gossip.
I like Jamie Lee a lot and I actually thought she was great in 'Freaky Friday.' Yes, I admit that I like the movie.

I've heard several stories about him, but the one that sticks out for me was while listening to the commentary on a Simpson's Episode that Spinal Tap was featured on. While they didn't go into specific details, he wasn't very pleasent to work with (like they were constantly saying how great Michael McKean was, and how great Harry Shearer is to work with and how Christopher was "a guest".)
There have been several other stories like that floating around about him.
I suspect, that if he thinks you're talented, or he likes you--he probably warms up (a bit), hence why he has such a strong troupe of people around him (I mean, Spinal Tap has been going on for 30-odd years now), but if he doesn't know you then there's a wall that comes across as "Asshole". One reviewer called him "rude, condescending , and intolerable".
He's also not nice to fans because "they always want him to say something funny".
