The 2022 Oscars will have three hosts for its upcoming ceremony.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has tapped Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall to host this year’s Oscars, according to a report from Variety. The news is expected to be officially announced on Tuesday during ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
This marks the first time the Oscars will have a host since 2018. The awards show went without a host in 2019 after comedian Kevin Hart stepped down from the post following the reemergence of homophobic tweets he’d posted years prior. The Academy kept up the tradition in 2020 and for last year’s ceremony, which was hosted in a scaled back format at Los Angeles’ Union Station due to the pandemic.
