Odds she hosts: 38%
In the newsroom that houses Moviefone HQ, shouts of "Tina Fey will definitely host!" could be heard almost immediately after Murphy stepped aside. The problem? She probably won't. Not because, as some online writers seem to assume, she hates doing this sort of thing, but because she probably won't be hired. Even with a co-host -- perhaps Steve Martin or Amy Poehler -- Fey is still too polarizing and of-a-specific-taste for the general-audience Oscars. You love her, I love her, many don't.
