Oscars 2022 Will Have A Host For The First Time In Three Years
The Academy Awards 2022 ceremony is all set to have a host after three years revealed ABC Entertainment President Craig Erwich said at a Television Critics Association event.
The
Academy
Awards
2022
ceremony
is
all
set
to
have
a
host
after
three
years
revealed
ABC
Entertainment
President
Craig
Erwich
said
at
a
Television
Critics
Association
event.
The
last
time
the
ceremony
was
hosted
by
a
celebrity
was
in
2018
at
the
Dolby
Theatre,
way
before
the
pandemic.
While
Oscars
2022
has
been
postponed
because
of
a
surge
in
COVID-19
cases,
it
is
still
set
to
take
place
on
March
27,
2022,
at
its
traditional
location
in
Los
Angeles.
President
Craig
Erwich
did
not
reveal
any
details
about
the
event,
presenters
or
host
and
joked,
"It
might
be
me."
According
to
reports,
Will
Packer
has
been
named
executive
producer
for
the
night.
Talking
about
Packer,
Erwich
said,
"Will
really
has
his
pulse
on
popular
culture
and
entertainment.
I
know
he
has
a
lot
in
store
and
we'll
have
more
details
to
share
soon."
Notably,
in
the
years
sans
host,
the
Oscars
were
handed
out
by
celebrity
presenters
in
2019,
2020
and
2021.
The
Academy
Awards
have
received
quite
the
backlash
in
the
past
couple
of
years
as
the
ratings
and
viewer
interest
in
the
night
keeps
dropping
every
year.
With
the
2021
ceremony
recording
an
all-time
low
rating
of
only
10.4
million
people
watching
in
the
United
States.
While
there
have
been
no
revelations
as
to
who
might
host
the
night,
according
to
The
Hollywood
Reporter,
The
Academy
Awards
has
reached
out
to
Tom
Holland
after
the
smash
success
of
his
movie
Spider-Man:
No
Way
Home.
Back
in
December,
Holland
had
told
The
Hollywood
Reporter
that
he
would
"love" to
host
the
awards.
"If
they
ask
me
to,
I
would,
and
it
would
be
very
fun,"
he
added.
