Regina Hall, Amy Schumer & Wanda Sykes To Host 94th Oscars Ceremony

Actresses Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes have been selected as the 94th Academy Award hosts. It’s the first time there have been three hosts at the Oscar since 1987, and the first time that three women get to present.

The ceremony will be produced by film producer Will Packer. It will be held on Sunday, March 27, 2022, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland in Hollywood and televised live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET. This year will also be the return of Oscars host after three hostess years; Jimmy Kimmel was the last awards host back in 2018.

“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!”

Hall recently appeared in the series Nine Perfect Strangers and is known for starring in the feature film Girls Trip, which Packer also produced.

Schumer is known for her comedic roles in I Feel Pretty and Trainwreck, which she wrote and starred in. The comedian actress will also be the writer, director and star of Life and Beth, a new comedy series.

Sykes was first recognized for her work as a writer on The Chris Rock Show, for which she won a Primetime Emmy Award in 1999. The actress is also a creator, writer and star of the comedy series The Upshaws.

“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.”
