The 86th Academy Awards is just 3 days away! Here's our pick on the best and worst Oscars hosts of all time.
Donald Duck: Yes, it’s true. Mr. Duck was chosen to co-host with five other stars Bob Hope, Jack Lemmon, Rosalind Russell and James Stewart at the 1958 awards show. He remains the only Oscars host to perform without pants.
