An official statement from the Academy confirms that Hollywood’s favorite gay guy, Neil Patrick Harris (sorry John Travolta), will be hosting the 2015 Academy Awards.
“It is truly an honor and a thrill to be asked to host this year’s Academy Awards. I grew up watching the Oscars and was always in such awe of some of the greats who hosted the show,” Harris said. “To be asked to follow in the footsteps of Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres, and everyone else who had the great fortune of hosting is a bucket list dream come true.”
NPH is as good as a host as you can get. Way better than whoever they had last year. Ellen DeGeneres? It was her wasn’t it? See, I can’t even remember and they wrote the name right in the statement.
