Man-Hunt Host Campaigns

Oscars 'Off the Grid' Hilariously Promotes the Movie Award Show

For those who are waiting for the Academy Awards, the Oscars 'Off the Grid' trailer is a good indication that it's coming very soon.

Last year's Oscar promo involved Anne Hathaway and James Franco training as hosts. This time around, the organization is looking for a veteran -- well, hunting him down. Josh Duhamel and Megan Fox star in the hilarious Oscars Off the Grid campaign that has the two Hollywood stars searching for the perfect host for the show: the one and only Billy Crystal. This leads to a man-hunt that takes them to exotic places where they scour for information on where the actor has gone in exile. A few celebrities make a cameo as well, so see if you can catch them.

The 84th Academy Awards airs February 26.
