Seth MacFarlane Crashes Professor Mann's Contemporary Film Class

What a great idea. Instead of models escorting winners off the Oscar stage next February, it will be college students.

MacFarlane announced “The Oscar Experience College Search” presented by The Academy and mtvU. College students who are interested in pursuing careers in film – writing, directing, producing, acting and more – are encouraged to vie for an opportunity to appear live onstage to deliver Oscar statuettes to telecast presenters.
