First promo for the spectacular awards show airs, is quite hilarious

Throughout the years, we learned to think of the yearly Academy Awards as a rather dull ceremony that mostly honors films we would never see if it weren't for the Oscar mention. Things are changing: the Oscars are getting more “hip.”

Just peek at the first trailer for the Oscars 2012 above if you want confirmation of that: not only is it very funny, but is also stars actors we simply love to see on the big screen.

Megan Fox and Josh Duhamel are dispatched on a quest for the one they call The Host, aka Billy Crystal, this year's host.

On their way to Mongolia, where he's hiding, they cross paths with Vinnie Jones and Robin Williams, both in character, of course.

Check out the trailer above to see what is the important message they have to deliver to The Host.

The 2012 Academy Awards will be held live on Sunday, February 26.
