The Oscars, awarded by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, will be hosted for the first time since 2018 and will return to its long-standing home, the Dolby Theater, ABC television reported.
While many other awards have been postponed due to the growing number of new coronavirus infections in the United States, the ABC says there has been no change in plans for the Oscars on March 27 in Los Angeles.
“This year’s ceremony will have a host“said the president of the television giant, Craig Eruich, who took part in a virtual meeting of the Television Critics’ Association. However, he revealed more details and did not reveal who will play the role.”It could be me“, the businessman joked.
The Oscar ceremony passed without a host in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The rating of the TV show has declined in recent years. Last year’s event was watched by a record low number of viewers – 10.4 million, after attracting 23.6 million people to the screen in 2020.
Fans of British actor Tom Holland have thought he should fill the vacancy following the huge success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, possibly with his screen partner Zendaya.
In December, the star told the Hollywood Reporter that he would be happy to do so, as long as he was invited, of course. “If asked, I would accept, and it will be a lot of fun“, shared the actor.

The last time the awards were presented was in 2018, when for the second year in a row the task was entrusted to the comedian with his own talk show Jimmy Kimmel. Before the award show, they hosted Chris Rock, Ellen de Generis, Billy Crystal, Upie Goldberg.
The ABC also announced that this year’s Oscars will return to their long-running home, the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. Last year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the leading film awards were presented in the presence of a small number of nominees and guests at the Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, reminds BTA. The ceremony took place in late April.
Nominations for the 94th Academy Awards will be announced on February 8.
