When the annual awards season rolls around these days, it’s always a wonder if the biggest shows of the season will be hosting, and that’s certainly the case for the Oscars. Hollywood’s biggest night has hosted some of the entertainment industry’s comedic giants, from Billy Crystal (nine times) to Whoopi Goldberg (four times). However, following the 2019 scandal surrounding planned host Kevin Hart, the Oscars announced that there would be no official host for that year’s 91st Academy Awards. Instead, several celebrities took turns moving the ceremony along, cracking jokes between them, and doing their usual presenter duties. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the non-host format has been carried over to 2020 and 2021 by default.
Fortunately for viewers, things went back to normal in 2022 when the comedic trio of Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes were chosen to host the ceremony, and at the 95th Academy Awards on March 12 Jimmy Kimmel returns as a guest for the third time. . But who are the most iconic Oscars hosts of all time that viewers will remember for years and years to come? Read on to find out.
