Seth MacFarlane hosted the Oscars on Sunday, and to say opinion was split on his performance is an understatement.

Much like “Family Guy,” Ted, and his other comedic work, observers were polarized, either loving his irreverent and often offensive jokes — or calling him out as a smug hack.

Even celebs watching at home were split on MacFarlane.

Julianne Hough tweeted, “I love @SethMacFarlane he is FANTASTIC 🙂 love you…. #call me 😉 #Oscars.”

“Enjoying the Oscars with @SethMacFarlane hosting. Best year yet,” wrote Peter Facinelli.

David Spade was less than impressed with the opening.

“Are they still gonna do the awards part or is that gonna be announced later online. #letsmoveitalong #oscars,” tweeted the comedian.

Take a look again at his 15-minute opening below.

The question is: How did you like MacFarlane’s hosting job?

Do you think he should be asked back?

Seth MacFarlane opened the 2013 Oscars with monologue jokes and a long routine featuring, of all people, Captain Kirk.

The first-time host began with more traditional jokes poking fun at himself, Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Brown and Rihanna, Mel Gibson, and other celebs.

Then a monitor featuring William Shatner as “Kirk” appeared, with the futuristic Star Trek character warning MacFarlane that his hosting job received poor reviews — and giving him advice on how to save the show.

What followed included a musical number called “We Saw Your Boobs,” a sock-puppet reenactment of the movie Flight, Charlize Theron and Channing Tatum dancing together. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Daniel Radcliffe singing together, and MacFarlane hitting on Sally Field backstage.

It was definitely not your traditional Oscars opening.

What do you think of it?
