ABC and The Academy made it official this morning that Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes are going to be hosting the Oscars this year on March 27th.
As if the noms were not bad enough from a lackadaisical year of movies, these hosts are the icing of this cardboard cake.
Each woman has their merit as individuals, but not as a trio. Didn’t they learn anything from the Anne Hathaway/James Franco year? I guess not.
“Imagine having one of the funniest women in comedy today hosting the Oscars… Now, multiply that by three,” said Craig Erwich, president, Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment. “Regina, Amy, and Wanda are comedy powerhouses who will make history as the first female trio to host the biggest night in entertainment, and we’re thrilled to have them at the helm to deliver an incredible show full of unforgettable moments and laughter.” I think he meant to say forgettable.
Last year, I got the COVID-19 vaccine on the day of the Academy Awards, so I slept through them. I am thinking I will get the fourth shot on that day, so I can sleep through them like I slept through Spencer, Being the Ricardos, and House of Gucci.
