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!
