Oscars will be without a host for 2nd consecutive year
For the second consecutive year, the Academy Awards ceremony will not have a TV host. The broadcast will focus on "huge entertainment value, big musical numbers, big comedy and star power," according to ABC, the television network airing the award show.
"Let me confirm it now, together with the Academy, that there will be no traditional host this year," announced ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour on Wednesday.
When asked why the Academy decided to go hostless again, Burke noted that the nominees will carry the show. "We expect that we're going to have a very commercial set of nominations and a lot of incredible elements have come together that make us think we are going to have a very entertaining show again," said Burke, according to Entertainment Tonight.
