The 2014 Academy Awards are over and done with. Everyone knows who won. We all know about Jennifer Lawrence tripping, again, but just because the show is over does not mean there cannot be some speculation about next year’s Oscars. Not about the movies, though, but about who will host the show.

Ellen DeGeneres hosted for the second time, and she did a good job. She wasn’t as controversial as Seth MacFarlane was last year, which everyone should have expected since he is the creator of “Family Guy.” However, Ellen wasn’t a complete bore, like Billy Crystal. She was safe.

Next year, the Academy should pick someone different; someone like “House of Cards” actor Kevin Spacey.

Now, picking Spacey seems like a weird choice because he’s an actor, and usually when actors host the Oscars they are totally boring — Crystal — or the show is a complete disaster, like when Anne Hathaway and James Franco hosted. I’ll leave MacFarlane out because everyone should have expected him to sing a song about boobs just based purely on what he does on “Family Guy.”

Spacey is perfect to host the Oscars. He has this wide range of abilities, such as being very dark and brooding as Frank Underwood to being able to impersonate Johnny Carson. Plus he has two Oscars himself.

Just imagine Spacey hosting. Instead of getting this forced long monologue, Spacey could do a prerecorded cold open video, and move into a live monologue as Frank Underwood telling the audience how he plans to sabotage the entire show. He could also do some soliloquies directly to people at home about how nauseating a certain actor makes him feel.

Throughout the show, Spacey could be himself and play with the audience just like DeGeneres, and he could also use his Carson impression.

The show would be vastly more entertaining with Spacey as host. It would fall somewhere in between MacFarlane and DeGeneres, which would be the perfect balance of controversial and safe.

Jimmy Kimmel asked Spacey on Sunday if he would want to host the Oscars, and he said, “It would be great fun. I’d love to do it, sure.”

Whoever decides the Oscars’ host should listen to Spacey and give him the job, or else face the wrath of Frank Underwood.
