The 5 best candidates to host the 2017 Oscars

If the Academy needs a marquee name, Kevin Hart is ready for the job (anyone else feel he was doing an audition for the host spot Sunday night?).

He's a major box-office draw, and you can't question his abilities on the stage.

One guy the Academy would kill for is Louis C.K., who got big laughs in a minor presenting spot Sunday night. But as much as we and they would love for him to host, it's probably a long shot.

Louis has never been one to take on a gig this big, though that would be the best thing about it. With his downer style, it would make for some funny material.

Instead of asking the audience for money for Girl Scout cookies, like Rock did this year, he would probably ask for money to pay for a documentary filmmaker's flight back home.

Schumer as host would almost definitely be a ratings bump. Her raunchy style would have to be toned down (which might be a deal-breaker) but she would no doubt guarantee a bit with her BFF Jennifer Lawrence (let's face it, JLaw will be nominated again next year, too, so she won't be hard to track down).

I have a feeling the Academy isn't ready for these two, but the cord-cutting Millennials of the world would totally borrow their parents' cable logins to stream the Oscars next year if they hosted.

I can't even imagine what kinds of bits the stars of stoner-feminist sitcom "Broad City" would come up with, but sometimes getting comics who aren't too embedded into the establishment brings the audience closer to the show.
