I agree that Phil Keoghan has a lock on it.  The Academy loves TAR.
He used to be a cameraman and producer, so I betcha he knows more
people in the Academy.  Although, it's possible that Jeff Probst will
win for being such a great host on Survivor all of these years.

Also, you gotta admit, Ryan Seacrest is probably the host of all
hosts.  The way he handles situations on a live show like American
Idol is truly amazing.   I think that guy could do anything and is
probably the hardest working person in hollywood.  Now - do his peers/
members of the Academy love him as much as the public does?
