The Muppets Probably Won't Host the Oscars

Sorry, @muppetoscars! It appears the dream of having Kermit and Miss Piggy host the 84th annual Academy Awards is just that: a dream. Variety reports on the always reliable "good authority" that while the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences are aware of the online movement to get the Muppets to host the Oscars in place of Eddie Murphy, they apparently aren't interested. What's that thing Kermit always says? Oh, right: it ain't easy being green.
