SHORT FILM

Seth MacFarlane to host 2013 Oscar telecast

“Family Guy” creator and voice Seth MacFarlane will host the 85th Oscar telecast in February, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences announced Monday morning.

MacFarlane, a huge success in television for the last decade with his animated series “Family Guy,” “American Dad” and “The Cleveland Show,” made his mark this summer at the box office with his raunchy, R-rated comedy hit “Ted,” which earned $218 million domestically.
