Oscars 2022 eyeing multiple hosts for the ceremony: report

nypost.com:

to Variety, the team behind this year’s show has reached out to several A-listers to host the show together. Discussions for the 94th ceremony are still in the early stages, reported Variety, and the decision will be made by the Academy, ABC and producer Will Packer.A celebrity host last graced the Oscars stage in 2018 when talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, 54, took over duties.

The last telecast that had a medley of stars hosting was in 1983 when Walter Matthau, Dudley Moore, Richard Pryor and Liza Minnelli, now 75, appeared.Earlier this month, the Academy tweeted out a poll, asking fans who they would like to see host. “If we asked you who would you want to host the Oscars, and this is strictly hypothetical, who would it hypothetically be?” Responses included three-time Oscar nominee Angela Lansbury, 96, as well as music and Twitter legend Dionne Warwick, 81, and four-time Emmy nominee Laverne Cox, 49.Sources also told the publication that it was Packer’s idea to have several people onstage. “If he can actually pull off what he’s planning for the show, this will be a game-changer for everybody,” an insider allegedly said.Other names including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, 49, and “Saturday Night Live” cast member Pete Davidson, 28, have previously been thrown into the ring.

However, Variety reported that action star Johnson’s schedule wouldn’t allow him to host.Funny women Tina Fey, 51, Amy Poehler, 50, and Maya Rudolph, 49, have been approached in previous years and allegedly are being considered for the 2022 ceremony.In addition, current power couple and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” stars Zendaya and Tom Holland, both 25, apparently have many backers for the gig — however unlikely that possibility may be, as Holland told the.
