Actress Elizabeth Banks, she of the remarkably comfortable-with-any-gag sense of humor (see “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” “Modern Family,” “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”), will undoubtedly bring the yucks as host of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Science and Technical Awards. Ms. Banks will present 15 awards to 45 recipients at the event, which takes place at the Beverly Wilshire on Feb. 20.

Among the winners: Industrial Light and Magic’s Imocap on-set performance capture system, used in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” and the ARRISCAN film scanner for use in the intermediate digital process.

Elizabeth to Guest Star on “30 Rock”!

Elizabeth Banks continues to exhibit impeccable taste when it comes to the company she keeps on the tube.

Fresh off her memorable guest turn on ABC’s Modern Family, my former Scrubs co-star is headed to 30 Rock to play the latest notch on Jack Donaghy’s belt, sources confirm to me exclusively.

NBC declined to comment, but I’m told Banks will appear in at least four episodes.

This marks the second high-profile romance for Alec Baldwin’s corporate shill this season. This week, Julianne Moore kicks off a multi-episode arc as Jack’s high school crush.

But back to Banks, would someone please explain to me why she doesn’t have her own show yet? It’s only a matter of time, right?
