RISD Grad MacFarlane Hosts the Oscars
Rhode Island School of Design graduate Seth MacFarlane hosted the Oscar Awards last night, prompting some RISD faculty to tune in. The creator of animated television shows like “Family Guy” showcased his off-color sense of humor and singing and dancing abilities.
During his opening monologue, MacFarlane joked about how critics would perceive his Oscar turn. He chatted with actor William Shatner, who reprised the role of Captain James T. Kirk, and sang an ode to actresses who have appeared topless in the movies.
MacFarlane is the second RISD graduate to host the Oscar ceremony in recent years. The first, actor James Franco, graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in Digital Media.
