The 10 Memorable Moments Of Oscars 2013 The best bits from the Dolby Theater Tweet While we might have expected a Seth MacFarlane-hosted Oscars to be a little more shocking (and perhaps, from the presenter’s point of view, better written), the hefty 2013 ceremony did produce a few moments that may end up seared into the watching audience’s collective consciousness.
