There were rumors that Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds were going to host this year’s Oscars. But that is not the case because the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences named someone else to do it. Who is going to MC Hollywood’s biggest night? The one and only Conan O’Brien!
“America demanded it and now it’s happening: Taco Bell’s new Cheesy Chalupa Supreme. In other news, I’m hosting the Oscars,” said O’Brien.
“We are thrilled and honored to have the incomparable Conan O’Brien host the Oscars this year,” said Kramer and Yang. “He is the perfect person to help lead our global celebration of film with his brilliant humor, his love of movies, and his live TV expertise. His remarkable ability to connect with audiences will bring viewers together to do what the Oscars do best–honor the spectacular films and filmmakers of this year.”
This is a brilliant choice. Hot off of Hot Ones, people are realizing how hysterical this man is! And it is so great that he is finally getting recognized for it!
And talking about great! He is going to have so much with Wicked. It is the first event movie in decades. So I can’t wait to see him dressed as Elphaba! I wonder who will be his Glinda.
The Oscars are on March 2nd, and U will be there for the first time in a long time; there is a host and movie to root for!
Last Sunday was the Oscars, and did you know there was a familiar person who was the voice of the night?
On Friday, when David Alan Grier was on Live with Kelly and Mark, Kelly Ripa wanted to know if it was true that it was his voice that we heard at the Academy Awards. And yes, it was.
His longtime friend, Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted Hollywood’s biggest night, asked him to do it. And DAG wanted to know how many tickets he would get.
Well, I guess he got enough because he spent the night in the trailer reading names and information about how many Oscars they have won and/or how many nominations the winner got as they were told to come on down. Wait, that is a different show with a different voice.
Liza Koshy showed up early to the Oscars in a scarlet-red Marchesa gown and massive platform heels. She learned quickly that she had made a mistake wearing those shoes.
That is because the actress fell on her butt as she was posing for the photographers during the first section of the press.
She didn’t let it keep her down. So, she got up with some help and continued to be photographed as though nothing had happened.
Yesterday, during the Oscars, one of the biggest highlights from the shindig was when John Cena presented the costume category wearing just sandals and the envelope that announced the winner.
However, between the nominees being read and the winner being announced, someone put a curtain on Peacemaker. But we didn’t know how.
Now we do because Vulture shared a video of the quick costume change as the costume noms were being shown. And that is how they did it.
For those of you who were wondering if he was truly naked on the stage, he was not. He was wearing a loin cloth, just in case.
