Hugh Jackman Too Busy for Oscars...Again

Hugh Jackman has been forced to turn down the chance to host the Academy Awards for a second time due to scheduling conflicts.

The Australian actor hosted the Oscars in 2009 and was asked back for this year's show, but he couldn't accept the offer, leaving the job to Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.

Academy bosses have been left disappointed again after seeking out Jackman's talents for the 2011 bash, because the hunk is too busy shooting X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2.

According to Deadline.com, the blockbuster will be shot in both New York and Tokyo, Japan.

The next Academy Awards ceremony will take place in Los Angeles on February 27th.
