Since 2018, the Oscars evening has been without master of ceremonies and has seen its audience drop over the years.
But ABC, which broadcasts the flagship event of the US film awards season, announced the return of a presenter on Tuesday.
Similarly, for this 94th edition organized on March 27, the Oscars will return to Hollywood and their traditional Dolby Theater.
The return of Jimmy Kimmel?
Last year, the coronavirus pandemic forced the Academy of Cinema Arts and Sciences to hold the gala evening in the large train station in central Los Angeles, with a reduced scale in accordance with health rules.
The televised broadcast, without a master of ceremonies, had gathered around ten million spectators, a decrease of 56% compared to 2020 which had already recorded a historically low audience.
"I can confirm that the Oscars will have a reigning host this year," Craig Erwich, president of ABC Entertainment, said at a panel discussion hosted by the Television Critics Association.
He did not wish to give more details, refusing in particular to say if the comedian Jimmy Kimmel, master of ceremonies for the Oscars in 2017 and 2018, was going to resume.
In 2019, comedian Kevin Hart gave up taking control of the evening after old tweets of his deemed homophobic resurfaced.
He had not been replaced and the ceremony had taken place with a succession of different presenters, without a chief host to orchestrate everything.
This formula had been well received and had even been taken up by other awards, such as the Emmy Awards.
