Hugh Jackman has turned down the chance to host the 2010 Academy Awards.

The Wolverine star, who did a wonderful job hosting last year’s ceremony, declined the chance to renew Oscar presenting duties, according to Variety.

Earlier reports had suggested that the 41-year-old has instead chosen to prepare for his next film Real Steel once his Broadway run in A Steady Rain wraps up.

The 82nd Academy Awards will take place on March 7, 2010.
