Donald Glover to host mtvU's Woodie Awards

Today came an announcement that Donald Glover would be hosting mtvU's Woodie awards, where college students award up-and-coming artists a piece of wood for their work.

"I'm really excited to be hosting The Woodies, (insert joke about the award sounding like a penis)," Glover said in a statement.

I think this is really great for Glover. He has gotten a lot of attention on the web since the hit NBC show "Community" has taken off, and there were even talks about him being Spiderman last year. I know I was excited at the prospect of him being cast in the role of the web-slinger, and I died a little inside when I found out Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) was going to take the reins instead.

The Woodie Awards will be on March 16th from the South by South West festival in Austin Texas.
