The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are still looking for a host for their 97th annual ceremony after prior host Jimmy Kimmel and comedian John Mulaney have reportedly both turned down the gig.
The Oscars and ABC reportedly made an offer to Kimmel — who has hosted the annual movie awards show already four times, including the last two years — but he said no, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
After taking on the gig last year, the late night host said, “I always dreamed of hosting the Oscars exactly four times,” as previously reported.
Comedian and talk show host John Mulaney also reportedly was offered the job after thrilling the Oscar crowd at the non-televised 2024 Governor’s Awards this year.
The Oscars are now looking for a new host.
