Well, there you have it, folks. Ellen Degeneres just announced on Twitter that she’ll host the next Oscars ceremony.
The show’s producers released the following statement to the LA Times :
“We are thrilled to have Ellen DeGeneres host the Oscars,” said the broadcast producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron in a statement Friday. “As a longtime friend, we had always hoped to find a project for us to do together and nothing could be more exciting than teaming up to do the Oscars. There are few stars today who have Ellen’s gift for comedy, with her great warmth and humanity. She is beloved everywhere and we expect the audience at the Dolby Theater, and in homes around the globe, will be as excited by this news as we are.”
We approve.
