The first-ever Academy Awards were held on May 16, 1929, and were hosted by William deMille & Douglas Fairbanks, founding of the Academy. Since then, there have been more than 60 people who have hosted the Oscars.
In 1957, the animated character Donald Duck even served as a co-host of the awards, working alongside David Niven, James Stewart, Jack Lemmon, and Rosalind Russell. Throughout the 96-year history, there have only been a few instances when the Academy Awards went without a host, which were in 1939, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1989, 2019, 2020, and 2021. With the 96th Academy Awards premiering on March 10th, this is who viewers will see hosting and presenting at the 2024 Oscars.
The Oscars are available to watch on ABC at 7 pm EST/4 pm PST.
Jimmy Kimmel Is Hosting The 2024 Oscars
Kimmel Has Been Hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! Since 2003
Jimmy Kimmel is hosting the 2024 Oscars, which is his fourth time as the emcee of the ceremony. The first time Kimmel hosted the awards was in 2017, and then he was welcomed back the next year to host again. Following the 2018 Oscars, the ceremony went three years without a host, after Kevin Hart stepped down from the job in 2019 because of backlash over his past tweets.
In 2020, the Oscars opted to go without a host again because of the increased ratings of the show the previous year. Then the 2021 Oscars lacked a host due to the coronavirus, which allowed the show to be more experimental with its awards presentation. Kimmel is a proven host of the Oscars and has even showcased his ability to navigate the chaos of the live event, like when La La Land was incorrectly named the Best Picture winner when he hosted for the first time in 2017.
After his incredible job as host in 2023, he was asked back for the 96th Academy Awards. With Kimmel hosting the 2024 Oscars, he s the ranks of Jack Lemmon, Whoopi Goldberg, Conrad Nagel, and David Niven, who have all hosted the award show four times. Given Kimmel's outstanding hosting abilities with his nightly show Jimmy Kimmel Live! and his experience with the Oscars, he is an exceptional choice to host the 96th Academy Awards.
