Who will present the Oscars 2022?
Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes join forces to present the 94th Academy Awards, each appearing in the role for the first time, according to a press release. The Oscars have ceded a host in recent history, with Jimmy Kimmel last holding the position in 2018.
“This year’s show is about bringing movie lovers together. It’s about time we put together three of the most dynamic and hilarious women with vastly different comedic styles,” said the show’s producer, Will Packer, in a press release. “I know the fun that Regina, Amy and Wanda will have will carry over to our audience as well. Lots of surprises in store! Expect the unexpected!”
The three hosts added: “We want people to prepare to have a good time. It’s been a while.”
