The actor has a great relationship with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, having scooped statuettes for The Usual Suspects and American Beauty, and now he wants to take over from fellow actor Hugh Jackman as the host of the 82nd Awards.

Spacey says. “I’d love to host the Oscars. We can start a campaign on Twitter right now.”

Spacey Visits Abramoff Behind Bars

I think this is really interesting to see what different actors do to prepare for a role. Plus I love Kevin Spacey a lot !!!

Actor Kevin Spacey visited a federal prison in Maryland on Monday to meet with disgraced Washington, D.C. lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

The two-time Oscar winner is preparing to play Abramoff in a new movie.

Con man Abramoff is serving time behind bars for his part in an influence-peddling scandal in the heart of American politics.

The 50-year-old businessman is scheduled to be released at the end of 2011.

He pleaded guilty to three criminal felony counts in a Washington, D.C., federal court in January, 2006.

Abramoff was charged in the defrauding of American Indian tribes and corruption of public officials.

Oscars 2001 – Julia Roberts Speech

Seeing clips from previous Oscar winners the other night, inspired me to look at my favorite actors/actresses winning an Oscar. So decided to start with Julia. I just love how emotional she gets it fantastic, and how she shhhh’s the orchestra. “I may never be up here again”. I really hope she does get up there again. I also love how Kevin Spacey presents the award, another favorite.
