Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes Will Host the 94th Oscars
On Tuesday’s Good Morning America, Oscars show producer Will Packer revealed the long-rumored trio of hosts for the 94th Oscars: Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes. This will mark the first time hosting the Oscars for all three hosts, and the first time hosting duties have been divided amongst three women hosts.
“This year’s show is all about uniting movie lovers. It’s apropos that we’ve lined up three of the most dynamic, hilarious women with very different comedic styles,” said Packer. “I know the fun Regina, Amy and Wanda will be having will translate to our audience as well. Many surprises in store! Expect the unexpected!”
“We want people to get ready to have a good time. It’s been a while,” said Hall, Schumer and Sykes.
“We’re invigorated by Will’s vision for this year’s Oscars: celebrating movie lovers alongside moviemakers and spotlighting fan favorites that prove how cinema can unite us all,” said Academy President David Rubin and Academy CEO Dawn Hudson. “Hosting this star-studded party are three powerful, funny women inviting us to laugh and cheer for the year’s best and brightest in film.”
“Imagine having one of the funniest women in comedy today hosting the Oscars... Now, multiply that by three,” said Craig Erwich, president, Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment. “Regina, Amy and Wanda are comedy powerhouses who will make history as the first female trio to host the biggest night in entertainment, and we’re thrilled to have them at the helm to deliver an incredible show full of unforgettable moments and laughter.”
