Gallery: Happy birthday, Laura Linney! The incredible rise and rise of the Ozark star! (BANG Showbiz)'Girls Trip' producer Will Packer is producing this year's event, and Hall has worked with him in the past on the likes of 'Little' and 'Think Like A Man'.

Meanwhile, Schumer and Sykes both have a connection to ABC - the broadcaster for the ceremony - with the former's series 'Life Beth' heading to Hulu, which is owned by ABC's parent company Disney.

Meanwhile, Sykes appears in ABC series 'Black-ish'. The ceremony has not had a presenter since Kevin Hart stood down from hosting in 2019 after homophobic jokes that he had previously posted on social media resurfaced.

Jimmy Kimmel was the last host in 2018. This year will be the first time the Oscars have had more than one host since Anne Hathaway and James Franco's widely-panned presenting in 2011, and the first time since 1987 - when Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn and Paul Hogan joined forces - that three people have taken the reins.
