After three years without a host, the Oscars will have one once again.
Craig Erwich, president, Hulu Originals & ABC Entertainment, announced that the Oscars would indeed return to a host on Tuesday morning, during ABC’s portion of the winter Television Critics Association virtual press tour. But he didn’t elaborate on who it might be. “It might be me,” Erwich quipped, before touting his confidence in Oscars executive producer Will Packer.
At one time considered one of the most coveted hosting gigs in Hollywood , the Oscar job became seen as more thankless in the age of social media and the non-stop critiques of whomever is on stage. But the real end of the line for Oscar host came in 2019, when the Academy at first announced Kevin Hart in the role. Hart later decided to drop out after the org asked him to apologize for years-old homophobic tweets; after that, the 2019 event went hostless.
“The past two Oscar ceremonies had specifically shed the host; both had been mixed bags, lacking the sort of unifying structure that might have seemed even more urgent this year… This year ought to serve as a wake-up call to the Academy to bring in a figure — anyone — who can guide the ceremony and make it work for viewers at home.
