Although the Academy Awards aren’t for another five months, it’s never too soon to start talking about who will take on hosting duties.
It sounds like the 2016 Oscars will have two hosts, according to Entertainment Weekly.
EW got the confirmation from David Hill, one of the two producers who were announced Tuesday as overseeing the show.
“There will be multiple hosts for sure — there will be two,” Hill said.
Who would be the best duo for the job?
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are an obvious choice. But would they want to do it after hosting the Golden Globes for the last three years?
There’s also Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, who are hot commodities right now and will have some free time, seeing as their hit show on Comedy Central, “Key & Peele,” is about to end its five-season run.
Key and Peele would be a great choice after the universal bashing the Academy received last year for its nominees (and voting body) not being diverse enough.
The Oscars have had success in the past with a hosting tandem.
In 2010, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin teamed up and received positive reviews.
But a year later the Academy tried it again with James Franco and Anne Hathaway, which led to a disastrous evening.
One choice that would be completely outside the box but would be great TV is if they chose new BFFs Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence to host.
Not only would they be great on stage together (actually, they already have experience), but with Lawrence’s next film, “Joy,” having major Oscar buzz, imagine if Lawrence was also nominated that night? Schumer would spend the whole evening razzing her as Lawrence awaits her category to come up.Let us know in the comments who you think would be a perfect pairing for Oscar night.
