...will be hosted by Hugh Jackman.
From IMDB:
"And the hosting honor goes to … Hugh Jackman. People's reigning Sexiest Man Alive has been chosen to host the 81st annual Academy Awards ceremony, to take place Feb. 22 The Australia star, 40, who'll be hosting the Oscars for the first time, was selected "because we want the ceremony to be fun," says Laurence Mark, producer of the telecast. "He can hold the screen and he can hold a stage. It doesn't hurt that he looks amazing in a tuxedo and he's the Sexiest Man Alive." Jackman won an Emmy in 2005 for hosting the 59th annual Tony Awards in 2004. He was also nominated as host of the Tonys in 2005. ABC will broadcast the Oscar ceremony live from the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles on Feb. 22." -

I'm sure whoever wins Best Original Score, I'll bloody deserve it more than they do... not that I'm awesome or anything, just the Oscars fail. Epically. -

How can you win another award for presenting awards?
Edit: I think they are wrong. It looks like he was nominated for a Tony award the following year for doing it.
And Steven, relax man! Giacchino will be there! We are safe. -

Will Bill Conti be there?''The mandate, as well as the benefit, of responsibility is the ability to tell when one can afford to be irresponsible.'' - Me -

Oscar Watch
Film composers aren't exactly the most social creatures in Hollywood. But when five of this year's Oscar front-runners -- A.R. Rahman (Fox Searchlight's "Slumdog Millionaire"), Howard Shore (Miramax's "Doubt"), Danny Elfman (Focus Features' "Milk"), Alexandre Desplat (Paramount's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") and Jan Kaczmarek (Overture's "The Visitor") -- sat down recently with The Hollywood Reporter's Kevin Cassidy, they seized the opportunity for a frank, passionate discussion of the past, present and future of film music

I thought Conti did magnificent work at the Oscars. It's great to see Michael taking over but Conti was no slouch.

Do other film composer fan-sites (not made by someone from the industry) get any support in general? -

It depends who you contact. Sometimes the composer him or herself isn't the right person to contact if you are trying to get promotional material. Usually you get the most support from a PR agency or a record label.
