Seth MacFarlane convinced Ted song won't win an Oscar

Oscars host Seth Macfarlane doesn't expect to be a winner on Sunday - because he's convinced Adele's Bond theme will be named Best Song at the Academy Awards.

The funnyman's Ted tune Everybody Needs a Best Friend is nominated but MacFarlane doesn't think his name will be called as a winner.

He tells USA Today, "We will lose to Adele. Don't get me wrong, as cynical a guy as I sometimes appear to be, nothing would delight me more than to walk away with that (award), but I don't think there's a chance in hell that we will win."

Norah Jones will perform the song at the Oscars.
