JAKARTA - There is something different about the Academy Awards this year. Reportedly, the 2022 Oscar will have their first host since 2018.

In addition, they are said to be holding the peak event at the Dolby Theatre. Launching Variety on Wednesday, January 12, Craig Erwich, President of Hulu & ABC Entertainment confirmed the news but did not say who was hosting the show.

“This year's event will have an MC. Maybe I (the host)," said Craig Erwich.

In broadcasts a few years earlier, the Oscars had celebrities as presenters but no main hosts in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Jimmy Kimmel was the last presenter for the 2017 and 2018 Oscars. At that time, his performance reaped a positive response. Then, Kevin Hart was appointed to be a guide in 2019 but was canceled due to the controversy.

Oscar viewing ratings are also decreasing year by year where in 2021, only 10.4 million people will watch the biggest award in the film industry.

Meanwhile, the 2022 Oscars will be held on March 27 in Los Angeles. Despite the increasing number of COVID-19 cases, the ABC will hold an event at the Dolby Theater, Hollywood.

The nominees for the 2022 Oscar will be announced on February 8.
