Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy to present at the 84th Annual Academy Awards
Fresh from their triumphant critical and box office success in Disney's The Muppets, which is Oscar nominated for Best Song, "Man or Muppet," superstars Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy are undeniably still one of the world's most celebrated Hollywood power couples. Their place in motion picture and television history has been cemented for decades, as evidenced by their well-deserved invitation to be presenters at this year's Academy Awards ceremony.

It's still a bummer they didn't get to host AND that they've cut out the performances for "best original song," but at least we're getting the Muppets on the show, which is better than nothing.

How awesome (or weird, or how the hell would they even able to) would it be if the Muppets hosted the Oscars?!
