Who is hosting the Oscars?

For the third consecutive year, the Oscars did not have a host for the 2020 Oscars, and several celebrities stepped up instead to introduce segments of the ceremony. While this could be a possible trend, they may re-introduce hosts for 2021’s Academy Awards, so check back later.
