Who’s hosting the 2024 Oscars?

Jimmy Kimmel is overseeing the 2024 Oscars. It marks the fourth time the talkshow host has taken charge of Hollywood’s most important night.

“I always dreamed of hosting the Oscars exactly four times,” Kimmel said in a statement when he was announced last November.

Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President said of Kimmel’s invovlement: “We are thrilled about Jimmy returning to host and Molly [McNearney] returning as executive producer for the Oscars.

“They share our love of movies and our commitment to producing a dynamic and entertaining show for our global audience. We are deeply grateful to Jimmy, Molly and their teams for their incredible creativity and partnership and for going on this ride with us again.”

Craig Erwich, president of ABC Entertainment, Hulu and Disney Branded Television Streaming Originals added: “After his triumphant return to the Oscars stage last year, we are honored to have Jimmy back to guide us through one of the most beloved celebrations in entertainment.”
