Seth to Host the Independent Spirit Awards

Posted on December 13th, 2011

Film Independent has tapped Seth Rogen to host the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards. The 50/50 star will emcee the 27th annual awards ceremony, to be held on the Santa Monica beach on Saturday, Feb. 25 with the telecast to air at 10 p.m. ET/PT on IFC.

“We’re incredibly excited to have Seth as the host for the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards and join us in celebrating this year’s exquisite films and talented filmmaking artists. Seth’s charm, intelligence and quick wit are sure to light up the room and will make for a truly entertaining afternoon,” said Film Independent senior director Sean Mc Manus.

Jennifer Caserta, executive vice president and general manager of IFC added: “Seth is one of the smartest and funniest actors today and we look forward to him making this one of the most entertaining Spirit Awards yet. IFC is a growing brand for original comedy programming, and our viewers are in for a good time with Seth hosting.”

Rogen served as an executive producer on the Indie Spirit Award-nominated film 50/50, inspired by real life experiences of his best friend Will Reiser, who penned the screenplay. Rogen was nominated for an Emmy in 2005 for outstanding writing for a variety, music or comedy for Da Ali G Show.

He appeared in Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared television series, both from Judd Apatow, before heading into film. Most recently, he has starred in Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, Superbad, The Green Hornet and offered his voice to the Kung Fu Panda films, Monsters vs. Aliens and Horton Hears a Who!. Next, Rogen stars in My Mother’s Curse and Take This Waltz.

Last year’s ceremony was hosted by Joel McHale. (Source)
