Ryan Reynolds On Talk Of Hosting Oscars With Hugh Jackman, Why It Is Unlikely This Year, And What He’d Want The Show To Look Like If It Ever Happened
Ryan Reynolds discusses the Oscar Talk about hosting with Hugh Jackman and Why it is unlikely to happen this year although someday he is open to it.
EXCLUSIVE: Now that 96th Oscar Show producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan are officially on board to repeat for the 97th Annual Academy Awards after winning an Emmy in September for their efforts, the search for an Oscar host(s) continues with the Academy reaching out to stars, and even as I noted in my October 14th column that according to informed sources the plan could be to have multiple teams sharing the load. Jackman hosted the universally praised 2009 show produced by Bill Condon and Larry Mark, and Reynolds is the kind of personality who seems tailor-made for the gig. In a year where there is no Barbenheimer to excite the masses, having Deadpool and Wolverine on stage could be a ratings magnet to drive audience interest in tuning in to offset the low wattage of the likely Best Picture nominees.
